When should all kinds of protective gear be worn?
1. Helmets are mostly used by skaters, skateboarders, cyclists and rock climbers. Helmets can reduce or even eliminate the impact of objects on the head to ensure safety. The shock absorption function of helmet can be divided into soft protection and hard protection. Soft protection reduces the impact force by increasing the impact distance, and all the kinetic energy of the impact is transferred to the head; Hard protection does not increase the impact distance, but digests kinetic energy through its own fragmentation.

2. Glasses are auxiliary equipment used to protect eyes. Their main function is to prevent strong light and sand from hurting eyes. Protective glasses are transparent, elastic and unbreakable.

Wrist protectors are mainly used by ball players such as volleyball, basketball and badminton. Wrist protectors can effectively reduce the excessive flexion and extension of wrists, especially tennis is very fast. Wearing wristbands can reduce the impact of the ball on the wrist when it touches the racket and protect the wrist.

4. Waist protection is mostly used by weightlifters and throwers, and some athletes often use it in heavy load strength training. The waist is the middle link of the human body. As a heavy load strength training, it needs to be transmitted through the waist center. When the waist strength is insufficient or the movement is incorrect, it will be injured. Using waist protector can effectively support and fix the waist, and can effectively prevent waist sprain.

Knee pads are mostly used by ball players such as volleyball, basketball and badminton, and are often used by people who do heavy-load sports such as weightlifting and fitness. The use of knee pads can better fix the joints, reduce the collision and wear of joints during exercise, and also prevent the epidermis from being damaged by falling during exercise.

6. In track and field events, sprinters and high jumpers usually use ankle protection devices. Using ankle protector can protect ankle joint, prevent ankle sprain and prevent Achilles tendon from overstretching. For athletes with ankle injuries, it can also effectively reduce the range of joint movement, relieve pain and speed up recovery.
