QUOTE(butthead @ Jul 23 2012, 05:33 PM) it's no marketing la.. he doesn't sell his services or the tape... he tried to explain it in laymen terms and letting me relate to how the tape will aid in providing pain relieve and recovery... restriction and movement support is more laymen than the explanation haha..restrict movement, and provide support is the words that i read from the kinesio materials...  |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jul 23 2012, 11:48 AM) why wear compression wear during an event eh... compression wear is for post recovery and i believe it is not useful to wear it during event... I guess during the event, it helps to prevent muscles and fats from jiggling around haha.. less muscle vibration could mean less fatigue??i heard of compression wear being used to bolster upper body muscles for sports like football for performance enhancement.. but i am not sure if it works... never heard of it on the shorts or compression socks able to enhance performance during... |

Afterwards I was really annoyed. “What can you do against people who insist on standing to watch the race with a dog that size that isn’t on a lead? It’s not right. The proof is it caused an accident.” Lelangue said shortly after the accident: “His hand has been injured a little as well as his elbow and knee. The dog was stronger than him, and it won that bout, but the important thing is that he could return to his place in the peloton. This post has been edited by dinraxxx: Jul 24 2012, 01:44 AM |
