Boxing Equipments

Boxing equipments are used to protect boxers from any type of injuries. The boxing equipments which are commonly used are gloves, mouth guards, wraps, soft sold shoes, rings, headgear and punching bags.

Gloves

Gloves are used to protect the hands from blunt injury, allowing boxers to throw punches with more force than if they did not utilize them. Gloves have been required in competition since the late nineteenth century, though modern boxing gloves are much heavier than those worn by early twentieth-century fighters.

Mouth Guard

A mouth guard is important protective device for the mouth teeth and gums from injury, that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums and to cushion the jaw, resulting in a decreased chance of knockout.

Hand Wrap

A hand wrap or a wrist wrap is a strip of cloth used in boxing to protect the the bones in the hand hand and wrist against injuries induced by punching. It also serves to both maintain the alignment of the joints, and to compress and lend strength to the soft tissues of the hand during the impact of a punch.

Boxing shoes

When you’re boxing, you do a lot of pivoting on your feet. Boxing shoes lace up high, which gives better protection for your ankles compared to regular sneakers. The flat bottoms on boxing shoes also help you feel surefooted and maintain your sense of gravity. Fighters need to feel connected to the ground, and the soft soles of many sneakers make that difficult.

Headgear

Headgear is a padded helmet, worn on the head by contestants in Amateur and Olympic boxing. It effectively protects against cuts, scrapes, and swelling, but does not protect very well against concussions. It will not protect the brain from the jarring that occurs when the head is struck. There are different types of boxing headgear available. Some headgear is open-faced. This is the style normally used in amateur boxing competitions. Unlike open-faced headger, training headgear covers the cheek. "Face-saver" headgear features a pad across the face so that no direct contact is made to the face. As the amount of padding in headgear is increased, visibility is reduced.
