However, we can limit the impact of those falls by using protective equipment, some of which is apparatus-specific. For example, many gymnasts use wrist straps, guards, grips, and powder in order to improve their grip while decreasing any friction felt on the hands. Some gymnasts even use tape and gauze.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli style=\u0022margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022font-size:14px;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022color:#555555\u0022\u003EProtecting the hands is especially important for young kids and beginners because their hands aren\u0026#39;t yet used to certain maneuvers.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli style=\u0022margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022font-size:14px;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022color:#555555\u0022\u003EA number of gymnasts opt to use footwear when practicing on the balance beam.
