01The Secret of Tape——Kinematic Tape

The so-called "tape" is actually called a muscle patch, also known as a kinesiology patch. It has a certain degree of elasticity and can be directly pasted on the skin.

In recent years, it has frequently appeared in major events, such as tennis, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, etc.
