When we start an exercise our bodies cannot deliver oxygen to the muscles fast enough therefore it heavily relying on the anaerobic processes for the initiating actions. The emphasis then goes on the aerobic system if the exercise is at low intensity. This system is a bit slower than the anaerobic systems because it relies on the circulatory system to transport oxygen to the working muscles before it creates ATP. The aerobic energy system works at moderate intensity as it works for longer duration of time; therefore the intensity is equal to the amount of time the activity lasts for. The aerobic system can only work when the energy demand is at the intensity for which the heart is able to provide the muscles with sufficient supply of

Callaghan goes on to list some key points comparing braces to taping, listing the advantages and disadvantages of both. (Callaghan, 1997) “ANKLE TAPE AND BRACES: Restrict range of movement, Reduce re injury rate, Improve proprioception. Limitation of movement is lost after exercise. No negative effect on most performance tests, little negative effect on other joints. BRACES: Minimal expertise needed, reusable, readjust able, washable, and non-allergic.
