Hockey ankle brace or knee brace?

Braces are widely used by hockey players around the world. A brace used for sports should give as little hindrance as possible. A sports brace or sports bandage is generally slightly smoother and slimmer in shape than the other strains of its kind. In hockey, the brace should not give too much obstruction, but should support where necessary. The Aircast A60 and the ASO ankle brace are very suitable ankle braces for hockey.

Does a brace weaken my muscles?

It is a myth that wearing ankle tape or brace leads to muscle weakness in athletes. An average Dutch athlete only sports two to three a week. This is equivalent to being active for about 4-6 hours. During hockey, the tape or brace acts as an aid to avoid creating peak loads on the ankle straps, thereby preventing new ankle injuries. The muscles around the ankle are stimulated enough not to relax. Wearing a brace provides protection but does not immediately weaken the muscles.
