Bandages – stability and protection for every workout
Our wraps offer targeted support under high stress and are an integral part of functional training, weightlifting, and strength sports. They help stabilize joints, promote blood circulation, and ensure safe and controlled movements. Whether you want to protect your wrists during heavy lifts, relieve stress on your knees during jumps, or support your elbows during pressing movements – you'll find the right solution here.
Variety for all joints
In this category you'll find a variety of joint supports – from wrist and knee braces to elbow and shin supports, as well as flexible arm sleeves and ankle supports. The range is complemented by practical accessories such as sweatbands, compression socks, and insoles. Many models combine warmth, compression, and freedom of movement – ideal for intense training and targeted recovery.
Advantages of bandages in training
- Stability and protection: Bandages provide additional support to joints and reduce the risk of overuse and injury.
- Compression and heat: Through targeted compression, they promote blood circulation, keep the muscles warm and support regeneration.
- Improved control: A stable joint improves movement execution and helps to avoid technical errors.
What you should pay attention to when choosing bandages
Targeted deployment
Use bandages especially during high-impact exercises. Weightlifting, for example during heavy squats, pressing movements or intensive training sessions Conditioning trainingFor warm-up and technique training, it's advisable to train without bandages so that your joints and tendons can adapt to the strain. Exceptions, of course, include acute injuries that require continuous protection and stability. In such cases, stay in consultation with your doctor or physiotherapist.
Fit and material
A bandage should fit snugly without restricting blood flow. High-quality materials such as neoprene or elastic synthetic fibers ensure comfortable wear, stability, and long-lasting durability – even with frequent use.
Care and hygiene
For a long lifespan, regular cleaning and care are recommended. In this category, you'll also find practical solutions such as laundry bags for gentle washing or odor-neutralizing sprays to keep your gear fresh between washes.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions to bandages
When should I wear bandages?
Bandages are particularly useful during high-impact activities – such as weightlifting or jumping with many repetitions. They are not recommended for technical training or light workouts, so that the joint and tendon structures can function naturally.
Which type of bandage is suitable for me?
Opt for lighter sleeves and moderate compression if you simply want to improve blood flow and support muscles during longer workouts. More robust models with Velcro or straps, on the other hand, provide maximum support during heavy lifts or intense training sessions and offer valuable relief when experiencing discomfort or recovering from an injury.
Can I also use bandages for conditions such as joint or tendon irritation?
Bandages can provide support for minor discomfort. However, in cases of acute injuries, severe pain, or instability, a doctor or physiotherapist should always be consulted. Bandages are not a substitute for therapy.
Can bandages prevent injuries during training?
No — bandages can stabilize the joints and improve movement, but they do not replace proper technique, sufficient muscle strength, or a professional warm-up. They are an aid, not a guarantee.
How do I find the right size or fit?
Make sure the bandage fits snugly but doesn't cut in or restrict blood flow. With a knee or elbow sleeve, you shouldn't experience any numbness, and with a wrist wrap, you should retain full mobility. Follow the manufacturer's size instructions (e.g., circumference in cm).
Choosing the wrong size reduces effectiveness or can even cause discomfort.
How often should I replace my bandages?
As long as the bandage retains its elasticity, fit, and support, it's fine to use. However, as soon as the material stretches out, wrinkles, or the support significantly diminishes, it's advisable to replace it.
Are bandages allowed in competitions or official leagues?
It depends on the federation or competition. Some federations only allow certain types of bandages or have specific requirements regarding length, material, or markings. Be sure to check the rules before participating in the competition.
