What is a "leg guard"?
A leg guard is a protective piece of equipment worn on the legs to prevent injuries during sports or activities. Common in sports like cricket and baseball, it covers the lower leg, often including the shin and sometimes the knee. Made from durable materials like foam, plastic, or metal, leg guards are designed to absorb and deflect impacts from balls or other objects. They help protect against bruises, cuts, and fractures while allowing players to move freely.
