The BetterGuard: Avoid ankle injuries in handball
Athleticism, elegance, technical finesse and above all dynamism - hardly any sport combines these attributes as much as handball . The passion for this often fast-paced sport has long spilled over Europe's borders into the whole world. Even in the USA, handball is now becoming increasingly popular.
As a particularly dynamic and physical sport, games and training require a comparatively high level of fitness and perfectly functioning ligaments, joints and muscles. The focus is primarily on the ankle, which is particularly frequently affected by injuries.
The safety belt for your ankle in handball
In handball, strong forces act on the ankles. When running and jumping, the force often exceeds several times your own body weight. If the load cannot be cushioned or dampened, the ligaments can overstretch or, in the worst case, even tear . It's enough if, for example, you land on the foot of an opponent after a jump shot and twist your ankle.
Why should you use The BetterGuard for handball?
The BetterGuard...
- combines freedom of movement and protection against twisting
- acts like a seat belt for your ankle

Avoid injuring the outer ligaments or, in rare cases, the inner ligaments as well. You can read how often this actually happens in our article Handball: Ankle injuries and their statistics. In handball, ankle injuries account for almost 20 percent.

Relatively small pitch - relatively large potential for injury
You can avoid the nightmare scenario of a protracted ankle injury, or at least mitigate the extent of such an injury. Handball professional Alexander Cossmann has now played 4 years injury-free thanks to Betterguards. Because that is exactly what our new ankle bandage stands for.
How does The BetterGuard work?
An intelligent mini piston acts as the innovative heart of our ankle bandage. The special thing about this piston: The damper integrated in the bandage is only activated during critical movements. As a result, it stabilizes the ankles three times faster than your muscles!
In normal gameplay, on the other hand, mini-pistons and dampers hold back. They remain in the inactive state. As a result, the bandage offers you exceptional freedom of movement in normal gameplay. This represents a clear advantage over traditional ankle bandages.
Martin Strobel praises The BetterGuard
"BETTERGUARDS has the potential to have a significant positive impact on the protection and performance of many athletes. I played with the BG PROTECTION system when I was still playing and am convinced that the latest development - The BetterGuard - will offer the sports community a new kind of protection experience without limitations."
- Martin Strobel
