Bands that are worn the wrist are for sweating. Most football players, tennis players, etc. will also wear tight bands around their elbows because with repeated stress the tendons of the elbow will slowly and painfully begin to pull away from the bone of the elbow. This is where the pain in your elbow originates. With continued, repetitive use of the elbow the tendon-bone connection weakens and the pain in your elbow steadily increases. By placing continual pressure on the tendons that connect the Flexor and the Extensor muscles to the Medial and Lateral Epicondyles the tension at the point of connection to the bone is significantly reduced. == == == ==

They don't! They wear it to indicate to their players, the opposition, the referee and the spectators that they are the captain! No special Law that states they have to wear an armband!

Many players wear arm sleeves because they do not want to get turf burn. Turf burns are more relevant on the older style of turf.
