Kinesiotape – Flexible, comfortable and versatile in use
Kinesio tape is an elastic, skin-friendly sports tape used to support muscles, tendons, and joints. Unlike inelastic tapes, it doesn't restrict mobility but adapts to the body's natural movements while providing a secure fit. This makes it a popular addition for active athletes during training, competition, or everyday life.
Kinesio tape is usually made of cotton with a stretchy texture that fits comfortably against the skin. The adhesive layer is skin-friendly, latex-free, and activated by body heat. This means the tape stays firmly in place even with sweat, prolonged exercise, or contact with water, and can be worn for several days.
The possible applications are diverse: shoulders, back, knees, and ankles are among the typical areas where the tape is used. It is a proven aid, especially in sports involving high dynamics and repetitive strain. Many athletes also choose different colors to distinguish specific applications or emphasize their personal style.
Thanks to its flexible application, movements can be specifically supported and additional stability created. Kinesio tape can be individually cut to size, easily applied, and is versatile – both for training sessions and everyday sports.
