People who have understood the fight should know that before the athlete fights, there are five kinds of equipment is essential: tooth guard, bandage, gloves, crotch protection, match special shorts. These things are very simple and not very eye-catching, but for the protection of the athlete's body safety is very effective, today we will talk about the bandage and its role in detail.
What are bandages?
Bandage belongs to the competition utensils, the same as the medical gauze bandage. It is 250 centimeters long and 3-4 centimeters wide and is used to tie around the hand to prevent wrist sprains, cartilage fractures in the fingers and skin abrasions.
The role of the bandage
1: Protect the wrist and hand joints. There are many bones in the human hand, wrapped in a bandage can protect the hand bone, to prevent deformation of the hand bone, and there are ligaments on the hand joints, ligaments are soft, rely on the bandage to protect, otherwise it is easy to congested and swollen or even collapsed.
2: help athletes better power. Because the competition gloves will not be customized according to each athlete's hand, so the gloves inside the space can not be and hand tight and seam tight together, the use of bandages can reduce more than the space, so that athletes are always in a tense state in the grip, is conducive to a better power.
Requirements for bandages
Generally speaking, athletes should be wrapped in bandages during the warm-up process half an hour before the start of the match, with professional referees supervising the process, preventing athletes from wrapping their hands with items other than bandages, and then signing their names on the bandages after they are wrapped up and inspected by referees responsible for inspecting the process. When the athletes put on their gloves before entering the arena, the referee will also watch the athletes put on their gloves and then use red or blue opaque tape to tie the gloves tightly at the wrists to prevent the gloves from loosening up during the match and to prevent the tethers from hurting both athletes.
The "Cage Match" gloves
The "Cage Match" warriors' bandage wrapping method is different from the boxing bandage wrapping method of the boxers, and the boxing match is a split-fingered glove, so the bandage wrapping method protects the athletes' hands, and is more conducive to the athletes' fingers' activities, which facilitates the athletes to make submissions such as knuckle techniques or strangulation techniques.
