Every athlete wears some sort of protective gear. It could be for protection from opponents or the weather. Playing a sport without protection is like driving a car without a safety belt. It is dangerous. Here are some of our top picks for protective gear to help you narrow down your search. Our top picks come from a NASM Personal Fitness Trainer and a NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist perspective. Proper joint alignment, joint stabilization, posture, and injury prevention are considered. Always consult with a doctor before starting any exercise program. Make sure that the products you buy are cleared by your physician.
Under Armour Football Compression Girdle
Protective Gear for football
This football girdle is designed to protect the groin area, hamstrings, quads (thighs), and the waist from strains, pulls, and muscle spasms. Be proactive and not reactive. Prevent an injury, not recover from an injury.
Shock Doctor Adult Compression Shorts with Bioflex Protective Cup
These compression shorts are great for football, hockey, softball, lacrosse, soccer, and baseball. The top qualities of this product are moisture-wicking flex fabric and a comfortable fit waistband. This is the ultimate protection for an area that needs maximum security.
Shock Doctor Double Braces Mouth Guard
Some athletes have braces on their upper and lower teeth. This mouthpiece protects both. Are there mouth guards you don’t have to boil? Yes. This one! What does boiling a mouthpiece do? Boiling softens the mouthpiece so that it can mold to your mouth. You don’t have to boil this one! Yeah!!
Shock Doctor Hinged Compression Knee Brace
This knee brace is a top choice because it comes with Patella gel support and Ultra Hinges for maximum support and stabilization. This knee protector is good to use for joint stabilization before or after an injury.
It is particularly good for recovery from ACL/MCL injuries. As an Offensive Lineman, I personally never went out on the football field without a knee brace like this one.
EvoShield PRO-SRZ Batter’s Elbow Guard
EvoShield PRO-SRZ Batter’s Elbow Guard
Q: Why do Baseball Players wear elbow guards?
A: To protect themselves from getting beaned by a pitch.
Q: What elbow guards do MLB players use?
A: This one.
Spring is here. Our national pastime has begun. Baseball players need the sun, head protection, chew in some cases, a cup, and a batter’s elbow guard. I am sure I missed a few other needs. The EvoShield batter’s elbow guard has gel to shell technology.(It starts out soft and goes hard for protection). Hand wash and air dry this guard.
