Describe the importance of using protective equipment when participating in sports or physical activity. Protective equipment is
designed to prevent the common injuries that can occur for each sport. While protective equipment does not completely eliminate the chance for injury, it does significantly reduce the risk.
Protective equipment is very helpful when playing sports because it minimizes the chance of getting hurt. With the protection you could still get hurt.
