Answer from: veraanna2015

The importance of using protective equipment when participating in sports or physical activity is that it prevents the athletes from being injured or minimizes injuries.

Further Explanation

Sports and physical activity can be categorized into three:

Collision - athletes intentionally hit or collide with each other or other objects and surfaces like the ground, with extreme force (e.g football, ice hockey, boxing, rodeo). While in contact sports (e.g soccer, basketball) athletes routinely make contact with each other or other objects, but usually with less force than in collision sports. There in no clear distinction between collision and contact sports that's why they are treated in one category.Limited Contact - contact sports such as softball wherein contact with other athletes or objects is occasional. Non Contact - athletes do not have any contact at all with any other athlete or object

Protective equipment is highly critical in collision and contact sports, while also relatively critical in limited contact sport.

Proper selection, fitting and maintenance are crucial to achieve prevention of injuries.

Examples of protective equipment in contact and collision sports are head protection (helmets for sports like football and softball), Face Protection, Eye and Ear Protection, Mouth Guard, Upper Extremities Protection, Lower Extremities Protection, etc.
