Advantages of sports gloves in impact sports

In impact sports, such as basketball, volleyball, rugby, etc., athletes' hands often need to withstand high-intensity impact forces, which places extremely high requirements on hand protection and comfort. As professional sports equipment, sports gloves play a vital role in these sports.
Sports gloves usually use highly elastic materials inside, such as memory foam, EVA foam, etc. These materials have good shock absorption and cushioning properties. When an athlete's hand is impacted, these materials can quickly absorb and disperse the impact, effectively reducing direct damage to the hand. Especially in basketball shooting, volleyball spiking and other actions, the palms and fingers will be subject to greater impact. The shock absorption and cushioning design of sports gloves can significantly reduce the risk of hand injuries.
Sports gloves are usually designed with non-slip materials and special textures to increase the friction between the gloves and sports equipment. In impact sports, this design ensures athletes have a firm grip on the equipment even in slippery or sweaty conditions, improving grip and stability. For example, in basketball games, athletes need to frequently dribble, pass and shoot. The anti-slip design of sports gloves can help them better control the ball and improve the accuracy and stability of their shots.
Impact sports often require athletes to swing their arms for long periods of time or perform high-intensity hand movements, which can easily cause hand fatigue and pain. Sports gloves are made of soft, breathable materials that provide a comfortable wrapping feel and reduce hand fatigue during long-term exercise. At the same time, the padding and cushioning design inside the gloves can also reduce friction between the hands and the equipment, further reducing the risk of hand injuries.
