Proper selection to prevent to protect injured parts from further injury simple to fit and maintain. Hard, round, smooth (football), rigid (hockey goalie) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) foam (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1: dissipation. To cause to spread thin or scatter and gradually vanish. Dispersal of a focal force over a larger surface. Disperse force over pad and not directly on ac joint (acromion/clavicle) Various material; harder material high density foam lighter density: deformation. Cantilever football pads (expands horizontally not vertically down onto shoulder) Bike helmet; blows apart and absorbs force: absorption. To receive without recoil or echo (cid:1) (cid:1) Made from matted wool fibers, less tendency to shift or move over skin, absorbs fluids (sweat, blood etc), heavy when wet, not very resilient, must be replaced daily.
