Zguy28 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I know this might be a stupid topic, but I have always wondered what those little armbands NFL players wear are for? Please enlighten me... If anyone else has similar questions post them here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 there's a similar band for knees. i think the knee version prevents shin splints. so i guess it helps with elbow/lower arm problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchwood Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 there's a similar band for knees. i think the knee version prevents shin splints. so i guess it helps with elbow/lower arm problems? The knee version helps with patellar tendonitis, by reducing the stress put on the patellar ligament (it attaches the knee cap from the quads to the tibia). I would assume that the arm versions are used to reduce the stress put on the ligament attachments of the biceps and triceps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Weirdo Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I always thought they were sweat bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I always thought they were sweat bands. I get what someone above said about the similar knee straps but I think that these are just to keep sweat from above the elbow drip down to the hands. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
