Shin Guards
Shin guards are derived from the concept of Greave, which is a Middle English term, where it was part of the body armor for the shin. At first, it was made to fight, but now shin guards are made to protect the athlete. Though cricket was the first sports to introduce shin guards, it has gradually taken over a lot or fitness based sports like hiking etc. as well.
Shin guards are protective gear that protects the athlete’s shin from injury. They provide protection in sports like football, baseball, cricket, ice hockey, lacrosse and combat sports like kickboxing, Muay-Thai etc. These shin guards are either made of light weight but a stiff material called fiberglass, light foam rubber, polyurethane which is heavy and durable and elastic or plastic and metal shin guards are also available.
A good Shin Guard covers most area of your ankle to your knee. The length of the skin guard is the length starting from just below your knee to an inch above your ankle. Most manufactured shin guards are based on different sizes on your age.
