Support & Protective Gear Clothing, Shoes & Accessories Gym, Workout & Yoga Exercise & Fitness
The proper support and protective gear is important for any sport, especially if your children are the ones who will be participating. Safety and injury prevention is the main goal of any good protective gear. Neoprene knee braces are a good example of support gear that also prevents further injury. The neoprene stretches to keep your knee joint compressed tightly at all times and limiting its range of motion.

Weight lifting belts are an key part of your support and protective gear arsenal. Everyone needs adequate lower back support, from the bodybuilder training for a competition to the casual exerciser in the gym to stay fit. Remember that weight lifting belts are only support gear, they are not the same as a medical back brace. Do not become overconfident and exert yourself too much while wearing your belt. Weight lifting belts support the lower back by compressing the abdominals to provide stability. Be careful not to wear the weight lifting belt for extended periods of time because this compression of the abdominal cavity can sometimes lead to high blood pressure.
Men will need additional support and protective gear to cover their genital area. Athletic supporters, or jock straps, may be enough for non-contact sports. Men or boys who will be playing baseball, football, hockey, or other dangerous sports will probably opt for the added protection of a cup. Other support and protective gear like knee or elbow braces, wrist wraps, and weightlifting gloves may add some comfort to your workout sessions.
