Sport taping is common nowadays especially in professional sports. Since professional sports are big business, protecting the players from injury is not only common sense but is also business sense. The tape of choice today is Kinesio tape. Kinesio tape is a form of athletic tape. It is not as restrictive as the ordinary athletic tape of yesteryears.

Kinesio tape supports the muscle and improves joint stability. It will not affect the range of motion of the muscle. You can also wear the Kinesio tape for 3 to 4 days without taking it out. An ordinary athletic tape you will have to replace after a couple of hours. The ordinary tape will lose its adhesive powers because of sweat and/or a shower.
