Basketball requires lots of dynamic movement, and knees are constantly exposed to impact from running, jumping, shooting and dunking. One wrong landing or the accumulation of these movements over time can lead to a knee injury that takes players out of the game.
Knee sleeves provide compression and support to the knee joint, helping stabilize it during sports activities and reducing pain in the area. They’re especially useful for athletes recovering from previous knee injuries and for those who want to prevent future ones.
The most common type of knee sleeves are stretchy pull-on sleeves made of neoprene. These are usually worn by athletes to reduce pain and increase performance during basketball training or games. They provide compression to the knee joint and redistribute weight load, making them ideal for athletes with a mild to moderate chronic knee problem.
Compared to neoprene, Rehband’s compression knee sleeves are more ergonomic and offer a better fit. The knit fabric we use is not only softer and more comfortable, but it also helps reduce overheating by wicking away moisture. The material is also easier to clean, retains its shape longer and doesn’t require straps to secure on the knee.
The Sports Knee Support NBA is a compression knee brace used by professional NBA athletes and trainers to help stabilize the knee joint during running, jumping and dunking. It features integrated gripping zones designed to keep the brace in place during intense play without compromising mobility or comfort. Using medical-grade compression, it improves blood flow for endurance and recovery, stimulates proprioception to reduce strain and enhances stability.
