The successful performance of an athlete in tournaments and competitions depends not only on his natural abilities and the intensity of training, but also on the skillful use of the sports equipment he needs. And boxing in this regard is no exception to the rule. In particular, in this sport, it is important to be able to properly wrap boxing bandages.
Instructions
After all, hundreds of young and very promising boys and girls annually end their never-begun careers in this sport due to injuries received for a very offensive and annoying reason - because of ignorance of how to wind boxing bandages.
The boxer's hand is protected from sprains, knuckles knocked into the blood, and, most importantly, dislocations, it is a boxing bandage. And if it is wrong to do the dressing over and over again, soon the hands will become completely unsuitable for the heaviest loads of the fight. But you can figure out how to wind boxing bandages, and learn how to do it quickly, efficiently and accurately, in just 5 minutes.
To begin with, fold the bandage correctly, winding it in the unfolded state is simply inconvenient. Twist it tightly so that the tab is on the outside and the sticker is on the inside. Pass your thumb through the loop and pull it towards the little finger on the outside of the hand. Then, take a couple of turns around your wrist, but do not tighten too tightly to avoid disrupting circulation. Check if the wrapped bandage is comfortable for your hand, if there are any folds on it.
Wrap the wrist so that the joints are securely fixed. Start bandaging your fingers - from the little finger to the thumb. With the latter, some difficulties may arise, but they are easily solved. Wrap the bandage around your wrist and then around your finger.
Gently twist it in a figure eight on the back of your hand between your index and thumb, make another winding around your wrist and secure the Velcro. This completes the wrapping procedure for boxing bandages.
Check if the bandage wrapped around your wrist is comfortable and does not interfere with its movement. If there are no problems, it means that your hand is reliably protected from accidental injury, and you can safely go to a fight or training.
