Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I wear the support over tights? (Female, 30s, Marathon)
A: Regarding Zamst knee supports, they are generally designed to be worn directly on the skin. While wearing them over tights is fine, depending on the material of the tights, the support may slip off. This will prevent the intended effect, so please test them out beforehand if possible.
Q: Are they suitable for preventing knee injuries while snowboarding? (Female, 20s, Snowboard)
A: If you've never had an injury and are wearing a support as a preventative measure, I recommend the "ZK-3," which holds the entire knee in place and prevents lateral (sideways) movement. Since knee ligaments are often injured in winter sports, the ZK series is recommended.
Q: I developed iliotibial band syndrome about six months ago. What's the best way to prevent recurrence? (30s, male, marathon runner)
A: Since iliotibial band syndrome itself is primarily caused by overuse (excessive running), limiting stressful movements is essential to prevent recurrence. I recommend the "RK-1," which features a strap to prevent inward twisting of the lower leg. While a support reduces strain on the knee, it doesn't address the underlying cause. Iliotibial band syndrome is caused by a variety of factors, including the running surface, shoes, form, and balance from the ankle to the hip joint. It's also recommended to review these factors and take care of your body by stretching before and after exercise and icing afterward.
