Tape

Types of tape for handball

Tape is a widely used tool in the sport of handball. There are several types available, each with its own specific purpose. Sports tape is firm and non-elastic. It is often used to stabilize joints such as the ankle or wrist to provide extra support during play. Kinesiology tape is elastic and supports muscles without restricting movement, making it ideal for the recovery of muscle injuries. There is also pre-cut tape, which is shaped for specific body parts like the shoulder, knee, thigh, or lower back.

For handball players who want to tape quickly and easily, pre-cut tape is ideal. You do not need any experience and application is often intuitive. Those with experience often choose non-precut tape that you cut to size for every situation. The choice depends on your need for fit, freedom of movement, and level of support.

Benefits and uses of tape in handball

Tape helps prevent injuries or provides support if you are already dealing with an issue. Especially for vulnerable joints like ankles or shoulders, tape allows you to move confidently without hesitation. During recovery, a good tape ensures stability, making it easier to build up activity without relapsing too soon.

When applying the tape, make sure not to pull it too tight. Start on clean, dry skin and consider practicing first. Take your time to check if the tape fits well. This prevents it from coming loose during training or pinching uncomfortably. For frequent or extended use, it is best to consult with a medical professional or coach to ensure safe application.

Tape selection guide: Which tape suits your needs?

For athletes with little experience in taping, we recommend pre-cut tape. It is easy to apply and designed for specific body parts, such as the elbow or knee. For injuries like a sprained ankle or shoulder strain, this type of tape provides immediate support.

More advanced players often use non-precut tape that they cut to size themselves. This is useful for more complex or combined issues or when you have personal preferences for how tight or where your tape should be placed.
