The women shot putters/weight lifters use them to stop their knob popping out.

Often wondered what purpose they served, now I know! Comedy

Probably like those anti-snoring nose clips that footballers (mainly the Portugal team and Robbie Fowler) wore that were supposed to assist breathing. All a load of bullshit and a fad that eventually disappeared. I reckon the multi coloured leg plasters will probably be proven to be just as ineffective and will likewise disappear when athletes finally realise that all they do is make them look stupid.

There must be some evidence cos they are considering banning them.
I thought Buffon and Mario looked bloody ridiculous in the Euros with theirs on.

Invented by some Japanese fella. No proof they do anything. It's all in the mind.

them big things that look like plasters, that sports people wear.

You could use one to cover up your girly hair

If I did that, when I tae the plaster off half my hair will come off.

Medical strapping I think its called, my wife's had recurrent knee dislocations and she's had them put on a few times to support the joint while it heals.

Obviously she doesn't go out and play 90 minutes afterwards so I think these sportsmen/women using them is a bit overkill.

Anyone know how much Adidas paid Mario to have three stripes on his back?

Physio put them on my calf and foot when I had Plantar fasciitis and it deffo helped the recovery process ------- but not as much as the acupuncture, which felt weird at the time, but was very effective in reducing the pain.

Stephen Ireland used to wear it as well. It's called kinesio tape and is meant to 'lift' the skin and ease pressure on muscles, although there's no scientific evidence that it actually does anything.
