Sports tape – stability, protection and targeted support
Sports tape (also called athletic tape) is a proven tool for stabilizing joints and supporting stressed areas of the body. It is a non-elastic, tear-resistant adhesive tape that is applied directly to the skin or in combination with a support pad. Its goal is to specifically control movements, prevent overload, and provide additional safety. Tape is a standard part of training and competition routines, especially in sports involving high-impact jumping, supporting, or twisting movements.
The material used for sports tape is generally breathable, skin-friendly, and designed to provide a firm hold without restricting freedom of movement. It can be torn off by hand, applied quickly, and removed without leaving any residue if necessary. This makes it versatile and ideal for training, competition, and athletic activities. Wrists, ankles, and fingers, in particular, are often taped to provide additional stability under high stress.
Another advantage of athletic tape is its versatility. It's used not only during training and warm-ups, but also during active exercise to provide greater security. Many athletes appreciate the stability athletic tape offers—whether during training, warm-up, or competition. The tape can be used with or without a backing, depending on skin type and movement requirements.
Tape for athletes is available in various widths, lengths, and materials and can be optimally tailored to individual needs. It is a proven aid in everyday sports and an integral part of many training routines – functional, effective, and versatile.
