Bodybuilding, gym and fitness gloves

Weight training and gym gloves have become the ideal complement for many athletes as they reduce the risk of injury, in addition to improving grip and stability, something fundamental in sports that require precision such as crossfit, or those that require a prolonged effort, as in the case of cycling.

WHAT ARE SPORTS GLOVES FOR?

Weight training and gym gloves are especially useful since they offer a more comfortable grip, which makes the exercises a little more pleasant when practicing them. In addition, it allows us to do exercises that we could not do without gloves, it will even allow us to lift more weight than we could without them. They prevent the appearance of hardness and prevent sweat from causing us to slip, so they get a firmer grip. Added to all this, gloves will be especially useful to protect both wrists and joints.

WHAT TYPES OF SPORTS GLOVES CAN YOU FIND?

GYM AND STRENGTH GLOVES

The bodybuilding and gym gloves and crossfit gloves have a special reinforcement on the palm and wrists to facilitate gripping and lifting weights during training. However, there are exercises in which they are not recommended, therefore the ideal is to have some gloves for the gym and try the different exercises with and without gloves, in this way we will know which suits us best, evaluating which is best for us. .

On the other hand, in addition to facilitating the grip, the gloves have extra advantages such as avoiding injuries, protecting the hands from hardness and taking care of hygiene since at no time does the skin come into contact with all the gym material that is shared.

CYCLING GLOVES

Cycling gloves facilitate grip, allow us to better control the handlebars, have additional cushioning that absorbs vibrations from the road and protects the hand in the event of a fall. To choose some gloves or others we will have to take into account the protection they offer us, the breathability they have, the grip, if they are waterproof, the temperature, if the fingers are exposed or not and even if they have a tactile function. In the same way, we will find an infinite number of types of gloves depending on the parts of the glove, the design, the season of the year, whether they have bare fingers or the type of cycling that we practice.

RUNNING GLOVES

Running gloves are made with synthetic materials since they are mainly intended for thermal and climatic protection. Some even have specific technologies such as sweat evacuation. We can also find gloves with reflective bands to give us visibility during an outing and even some with tactile properties. To choose the right gloves, the ideal is to take into account the size so that the glove adapts perfectly to the hand and provides us with comfort during the race.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES USING GLOVES FOR MUSCULATION AND GYM HAVE?

• Improve grip and avoid injuries: especially if the amount of weight that we are going to lift is considerably high, since they offer stability and have an integrated wrist strap.
• They protect the hands from hardness: especially with the use of dumbbells that can cause chafing and injuries.
• They take care of hygiene: in the gym the material is shared and the hands are a source of infection. With the sweat that we leave on the machinery, warts can be spread, for example.
• They take care of the wrists: the integrated wristband that these types of gloves usually have will be especially useful to protect the wrist when we want to lift heavy loads.

WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE ARE THE FITNESS GLOVES RECOMMENDED FOR?

Gloves are therefore recommended for those whose training is based on the use of machinery and weights or dumbbells to facilitate grip, avoid damage and, in the event that it is practiced in the gym, for hygiene reasons. Within this, they are recommended even more to those who lift very large amounts of weight since the more weight you lift, the greater the risk of damage.

On the other hand, the use of gloves is always recommended for those who need well-cared hands on a day-to-day basis, such as masseurs, in this case gloves will always be necessary to avoid any type of damage regardless of the exercise that is performed.
