What is taping your legs?

Taping your legs can be done for various reasons such as providing support during physical activity or helping to prevent injury.

Sports tape is commonly used to tape legs and is made up of a cotton fabric with an adhesive backing. The tape can be applied in various ways depending on the desired support needed.

For example, if you want to support your ankles, you can apply a "figure-eight" style tape job around your ankle and foot. For shin splints, you can apply a strip of tape along the muscle and bone.

It's important to note that taping your legs can be helpful but should not be used to replace proper warm-up, stretching, and recovery exercises. Taping should only be used as an additional tool to support your sport or activity.

Also, make sure to properly remove the tape once you are done with your activity to avoid any skin irritation or damage.
