I hate this faggot trend so much.

>>149445732 (OP)
that's what your momma said

>>149445971
Couldn't that be worse cuz how the non ripped parts put more strain?

>>149445732 (OP)

Not my meme tapes. Physio is such a scam it is insane.

>>149446053
No
But you might get chipped and cut by some stud in a box huddle way easier now or get road rash during tackles. Exposing those parts and playing with minuscule shin guards is beyond stupid.

>>149445952
weirdo

>>149445971
that's retarded, just get bigger socks

>>149445732 (OP)
I remember when this was a thing

>>149445971
Calflets just don’t understand

They do this because "normal socks are too warm, I need hols to cool down" .
Everyone knows it's bs and they do it because they (and only they) think it looks cool.

It doesn't do fuck all. It's very useful in rehabilitation to provide sensory feedback based on how you move your body, so when you're moving through a range of motion as you're retraining your body after an injury, you get a second set of inputs to associate with both correct and incorrect patterns.

Oh, you meant the retards who think a piece of tape on their skin somehow supports their muscles and joints? Yeah, no, they're retarded.

>They do this because "normal socks are too warm, I need hols to cool down".
Most players do it for cramp prevention

My wife was a physio and started working around the time these made it big back in the early 2010s

>>149445952
>haha stupid anon what are you gonna do with a sports medicine degree haha

>>149445971
how fucking poor are these teams

>>149448534
players are taking brand new socks and cutting these holes out of the back because they think it helps them

Kinesio tape is used in pro wrestling to sell the idea of an injured body part to the crowd, to make it more dramatic when that part gets attacked, but that's the only function I think it has.

*actually works in your path*

I remember back when Mythbusters was on, that this actually worked.

its good for white people because white skin reflects light so the eyeblack absorbs some of the glare. its silly when black people do it because of that

>>149450038
nah it goes hard when they put their area code in the eyeblack
The 6 represent!

We did this in high school with an ammonia solution. All it did was snap you out of concussion fog for a little bit, but it was basically the same thing except they had towels floating in a bucket of the stuff.

That was 25 years ago, so I guess it's kinda cool to be a trend setter.

Weightlifters use this as a wakeup device. It's the same reason they have their coaches smack them several times in various areas right before they walk out. No physical benefit but for weightlifting the psychological part is very important. When you see lifters come out, pull the bar a few inches off the ground and drop it, it's mostly because they weren't ready to do the lift just then. Also if the bar is just way too heavy but that's less common.
