1. Why are fitness gloves half-fingered?
Training gloves can be roughly divided into four types: half-finger, full-finger, with wristband and without wristband. Half-finger gloves are more flexible. Half-fingered gloves in general training will thicken the palm part, and the material of the palm part will not be the same as other parts. They mainly play the role of anti-skid, increase friction and protect the palm, but the fingers are not the main stress parts, so the fitness gloves are all half-fingered, which can protect the palm without losing the friction of the fingers and can effectively prevent skid.
Second, is it better to use half finger or full finger for fitness gloves?
General non-slip gloves include palms and knuckles, in order to better master some movements, such as shrug used by trapezius muscles. Some gloves for cycling also have anti-slip function, but they are not suitable for equipment training. Sweating on the palm will reduce the friction between gloves and palm, which may lead to unstable grip and reduce your control over barbells. It is not recommended.
At present, the most common fitness gloves are semi-fingered gloves, which are designed to absorb sweat and prevent slipping, increase the friction of grasping and reduce hand wear. There are two kinds: ordinary gloves and wristbands. When lifting a large weight, it is easy to produce a large compressive force on the wrist, resulting in sprain, and professional wristbands and gloves will play a role.
In the selection of gloves, it is most important to choose good quality. Fine workmanship, anti-slip and wear-resistant, the back of your hand should be breathable, because you will sweat when you exercise, and it will be very uncomfortable to accumulate sweat on your palms.
A good pair of fitness gloves need to fit the shape of your palm, and there is non-slip silicone at the palm pad, which does not affect the exertion. In addition, it is very important to wear it conveniently and firmly.
