PERFORMANCE: From crossovers to slam dunks, athletes demand stability and support from their knee joints on the court. The Sports Knee Support NBA effectively stabilizes the knee area utilizing compression, lateral stays, and a patella gel pad to keep the knee brace in place, eliminating the need for bulky & uncomfortable straps.

SUPPORTS THE THIGH MUSCLES: The Sports Compression Sleeves Upper Leg supports the muscles in the thigh through powerful compression. The compressive effect decreases from knee to thigh, promoting circulation. The muscles receive a better supply of oxygen, for optimal performance.

STIMULATES CIRCULATION: Stimulating blood circulation also causes the thigh muscles to quickly heat up, which helps protect against injury of the hamstrings and supports faster recovery times yet the skin remains cool and comfortable.

COMFORT AND EASY CARE: The sleeves, which come in a sporty design, are sold as a pair and are durable, breathable, and fit securely thanks to a silicone top band on the upper edging. Machine washable (see product packaging for details). Thigh sleeves designed to offer hamstring & quad compression with a wrap-like feeling.

FIT AND SIZING: With your knee slightly bent and taking the center of the kneecap as your starting point, measure your thigh circumference 5 1/2 inches above the kneecap mid-point and measure your calf circumference 4 3/4 inches below your kneecap mid-point. Refer to the sizing chart in the product images for a size to associate with these measurements. If your measurements are split between two sizes choose the thigh size.

KNEE STABILIZATION DURING SPORTS ACTIVITIES: The Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support supports the movement of the knee during sporting activities through gentle, beneficial compression which alleviates the effects of overuse and high impact and protects against too much strain on the knee.

TARGETED RELIEF: An anatomically contoured pad surrounds the kneecap. This special functional element disperses pressure. When the knee moves, the pad and the knitted fabric massage the connective tissue and the muscles. Two pressure points and lateral wings deliver targeted stimuli. This stimulation triggers positive sensory motor feedback. The stabilizing muscles are activated to improve joint stability. This stabilizing effect reduces stress and risk of injury.

TARGETED RELIEF: The Sports Knee Strap provides relief for the patellar tendon by delivering targeted compression below the kneecap during sporting activities, particularly those that involve large amounts of running and jumping.

REDUCES RISK OF INJURY: Incorporated into the close-fitting knitted fabric is a functional element: a special pad with four nubbed pressure points that relieve the patellar tendon insertion by exerting a beneficial massaging action during movement. The inner pressure points also guide and support the tendon during loading. The main function of the outer pressure points is to stimulate the area around the patellar tendon and support the sensory motor system of the knee.
