Do knee braces protect overweight people during sports?
Hello, I'm currently very overweight and can't yet put much strain on my joints when playing soccer or jogging. Could a knee brace protect my knees, or is it intended for other purposes?
Thanks in advance.
If you’re overweight, you shouldn’t jog. This puts the joints too much. You better find a gentle sport.
To the bandages, I’d ask an orthopaedic.
No, bandages do not protect your musculoskeletal system from impact loads.
