Визначення та Значення "athletic supporter"

What is an "athletic supporter"?

An athletic supporter, also known as a jockstrap, is an undergarment designed to provide support and protection to the male genitalia during athletic activity. The garment consists of a waistband, which typically has a pouch that holds a protective cup over the penis and testicles, and two elastic straps that run from the waistband to the base of the buttocks, leaving the buttocks exposed. The athletic supporter is commonly worn by men who participate in sports such as football, hockey, or baseball, where there is a risk of impact on the groin area. The protective cup is usually made from plastic or metal and is designed to absorb and distribute the force of an impact, reducing the risk of injury. Athletic supporters come in a variety of sizes and styles and are an essential item for many male athletes.
