Most sports tapes can be recognized by their white color and are not stretchable. They are used before, during or after exercise and in physiotherapy. Sports tape provides protection and support for recovering muscles and joints. It works as follows: by applying sports tape to the skin where the muscle is located, the range of motion of the muscle is limited so that it can recover optimally. The tape must be removed after each sporting moment. Nowadays kinesio tape is also often used. This is the opposite of sports tape, as it is very elastic. Due to the stretchability of this elastic sports tape, the tape easily adapts to every natural movement. This means you are not limited in your movement during exercise.
how do you use sports tape?
Applying sports tape requires a lot of attention and precision. Both application and placement must be done carefully to achieve optimal results. First start by cleaning your skin, it should be oil-free and dry. If you have a lot of hair growth where the sports tape should be applied, we recommend trimming it or shaving it completely smooth. Sports tape adheres better to smooth, hairless skin. Then apply the sports tape to your skin and ensure that no air bubbles form under the tape. If you use elastic tape, make sure you don't put too much stretch on the tape. Physiotherapists are often specialized in applying sports tape, if you are unsure about doing it yourself. There is also a lot of information online about applying (elastic) sports tape.
