Not every tape is meant for the same purpose. If you are buying for a physiotherapy practice, sports club or your own sports care setup, it helps to choose by application rather than by name or colour. In this guide we line up the most common options so you can reach the right tape and the right accessories faster.
What do we mean by sports tape?
Here, sports tape covers the full range of tapes used in sports care, support, prevention and practical treatment settings. That can range from rigid tape for firmer fixation to elastic kinesiology tape and complementary taping accessories.
If you want an overview of the available range, start in Tape & Accessories and then refine by application.
When do professionals more often choose rigid tape?
Rigid tape is often considered when a firmer feel or more fixed support is required. In the Sporta Pro range, that usually means the Rigid Tape category.
A classic example is STRAPPAL 2.5 CM, a product that regularly comes up when people want to work with firm sports taping.
When is elastic tape or kinesiology tape more appropriate?
If you want to combine support with greater freedom of movement, elastic tape or kinesiology tape is often the better direction. From the main collection you can continue to Elastic Tape or to kinesiology-related products such as KINESIO CURE TAPE CLASSIC.
The right choice depends on the intended application, the working method of the professional and the preference of the user or team.
Why plan taping accessories as well?
An efficient taping setup does not stop with the tape itself. In practice, preparatory or complementary products are often useful too. That is why the Taping Accessories subcategory is relevant as well.
If you want to work more comfortably and efficiently, it is also worth looking at Padding Material for extra comfort and cleaner finishing.
Veelgestelde vragen
Which tape is suitable for every athlete?
There is no single tape that is ideal for every situation. The best choice depends on the goal, the application and the preference within a practice, club or individual use case.
Where should I start if I am ordering for a club?
Start with the main Tape & Accessories category and then compare rigid tape, elastic tape and taping accessories side by side.
Is it useful to order tape and accessories together?
Yes. In many practical situations it is more efficient to review accessories such as padding material or other preparatory products at the same time.
