What is a "knee pad"?
A knee pad is a protective piece of gear worn on the knee to prevent injury during sports or physical activities. Made from soft, impact-absorbing materials like foam or gel, it helps cushion the knee from blows, falls, or sudden movements. Knee pads are commonly worn in sports such as basketball, volleyball, or skateboarding, where the risk of knee injuries is higher. They are usually secured with adjustable straps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, offering protection while allowing freedom of movement.
Examples

Every skateboarder wears knee pads to shield their knees during tricks and falls.
