The shin guard is used to protect the lower leg, also known as the shin guard.Due to the high level of confrontation in football, the probability of a player being kicked in the shin is very high, so it is necessary to wear the right shin guard to protect his shin.From a physical point of view, the leg pads disperse and cushion the impact that would otherwise be applied to the lower leg.The gap between the thigh plate and the leg ACTS as a buffer, as does the skin between the thigh bone and the thigh plate to prevent fractures.
If a player is not wearing a brace, a fracture of the tibia or fibula can occur when a strong force is applied to the lower leg. In severe cases, a fracture of the thigh bone or a tear of the cruciate ligament in the knee can occur.
It is clearly stated in the football rules and regulations stipulated by FIFA that football players must wear leg pads made of plastic, rubber and similar materials to provide some protection, and they must be completely covered by football socks.
