  6. To reduce potential INJURY Increase the impact area Transfer or disperse the impact to another body part Limit the relative motion of the body part Add mass to the body part to limit deformation and displacement Reduce friction between contacting areas Absorb energy

  7. Selecting Equipment Equipment must conform to rules of the sport Must allow the athlete to perform without restriction Wearing must be comfortable, if not then less likely to want to wear it , may effect performance
