Taping

Sports taping, also known as athletic taping, is the process of applying tape directly to the skin in order to maintain a stable position of bones and muscles during athletic activity. The goal of sports taping is to minimize the risk of injury, support the recovery process after an injury, and enhance performance by restricting certain movements that may lead to injury. It is a common practice in many sports and physical activities. However, the effectiveness can depend on the accuracy of application and the type of sport or activity. Often, kinesiology tape is used, which is highly flexible and allows for a full range of motion.
