【Frequently Asked Questions】Q: Is it better to wear the supporter over tights? (30s, Female, Marathon) A: Regarding the Zamst knee supporter, it is primarily designed to be worn directly on the skin. While it is acceptable to wear it over tights, depending on the material of the tights, the supporter may shift. If that happens, you may not achieve the desired effect, so please try it beforehand if possible. Q: Is it suitable for preventing knee injuries while snowboarding? (20s, Female, Snowboarding) A: If you have not had any injuries and are wearing the supporter for prevention, I recommend the "ZK-3," which holds the entire knee and reduces lateral (sideways) instability. In winter sports, knee ligaments are often strained, so the ZK series is recommended. Q: I had iliotibial band syndrome about six months ago. What is for preventing recurrence? (30s, Male, Marathon) A: Iliotibial band syndrome is primarily caused by overuse (running too much), so to prevent recurrence, it is necessary to limit movements that put strain on the knee. I recommend the "RK-1," which uses straps to suppress inward twisting movements of the lower leg. While the supporter reduces the burden on the knee, it does not address the root cause. Iliotibial band syndrome can be influenced by various factors, including running surfaces, shoes, form, and the balance from the ankle to the hip, so it would be beneficial to review those aspects and pay attention to body care, such as stretching before and after exercise and icing after workouts.
