The analysis is as follows: wrap the fingers with white tape, one is to protect the finger joints and avoid injury, and another important point is to fix the hand shape, basically the setter's fingers will be wrapped with the most white tape, in order to play in the fierce competition. Always maintain a good overhand passing hand shape in the middle, and the main attack and auxiliary attack will focus on protecting their thumb, index finger and middle finger, so that they can exert better force when hitting the ball. Another effect is that because the intensity of the game is relatively high, it is inevitable that there will be sweat and tape, one is anti-slip, and the other is to increase friction.

Injuries in volleyball are inevitable, so we need to take precautions. The first step in preventive work is to improve the resistance of your shoulders by standing upright or sitting on a chair, keeping your upper body upright, and using your arms to be perpendicular to the ground. Take a heavy object (dumbbells are the best), the weight is 2.5kg-7.5kg, which varies from person to person. Then, keep your upper arm still, still perpendicular to the ground; bend your forearm upward, with your elbow at a 90-degree angle; turn your wrist so that the eye of the fist is upward; then, make your elbow become -- The axis, the big arm is still not moving (but with the forearm internal rotation), the forearm is rotated inward to the front of the abdomen (the distance of a punch)! Then return to the starting point (the big arm is perpendicular to the ground, the forearm is bent upwards) )----This completes an exercise, you are continuing, the amount of exercise is 12-15 times, a total of 3-4 groups is appropriate.

The second step of prevention is to "stretch" your shoulders, especially the side where the force spikes, before exercising. For example, if you stretch your right shoulder and straighten your right arm, Bend your right elbow, place your left forearm (radius) on the lower end of your right upper arm (lower end of your humerus), and stretch your right shoulder slightly with your left forearm.
