what the player need?
The helmet (helmet) is the most important and most heavy equipment. Contrary to popular belief, it is a protective helmet and should, in theory, never used to wear once.
It is composed of a plastic whose interior is lined with an air chamber and foam parts to absorb the impact. Some pro players use helmets clamshell designed to reduce the risk of concussion, but it remains quite rare. It is important that the helmet perfectly hold the skull of the player day to keep it tight through the mentonière and maintaining suffisement inflated inner tube. The players all have mouth guard (mouth guard) or mouth guard + lip which is then hung on the gate.
The shoulder pads
The shoulder pads
The shoulder pads (shoulder pads) are the most impressive equipment. They are designed to carry and roll with the punches.
The shoulder pad is composed of a series of plastic parts rigid connected by elastic straps that keep the flexibility and overall cohesion. The choice of a shoulder pad is made according to the position held in order to choose the best balance between flexibility and protection. Typically, the shoulder pad on top of our image is particularly suitable for players of the first curtain with two sets of straps and additional protections under the arms.
In contrast, the bottom, providing maximum freedom is more suited to a defensive player last curtain.
Some players are added as accessories. This is the case of aircraft operating in the first two defensive curtains that adds additional protection to the neck. In attack, runners, receivers and quarterbacks typically use a coast guard.
The grid
Grids face protection
The grid (Face Mask) is a much more important than it seems.
Generally laminated steel, some grills, little used, are fully plastic.
It is she who must absorb most of the shock received at the head ... it must be very strong while allowing maximum visibility to the player. The basic grid comes to cover the chin.
There are still some seasons, some players like the punter using a grid that had only one bar to maintain a maximum field of view. These grids are now banned.
Overall, more than one player gets a blow job or are frequent, the grid is thick and supplied. The lowest rack (figure cons) is typically that of a linebacker, a defensive player of the second curtain. Some front row players play with more grids provided. Conversely, the field players back and recipients who receive less use once opened their gates to better track the ball. The top rack is not generally used recipients.
The legs
The pads
The photo below shows the different protection against coming to slip into the pockets of his trousers and underpants.
for the hips (hip pad)
to the coccyx (tailbone pad)
for the thighs (thigh pad)
for the knees (knee pad)
Protects the coccyx is not mandatory in the NFL. The knee pads are composed of a metallic plate or plastic coated heavy-thickness of hard foam. Other protections are fully foam.
Clothes
The U.S. football wear
Jerseys and football pants have features specific to the demands of the sport.
It must maintain "pads" glued against the body to provide maximum protection to the athlete while providing flexibility to suffisement not impede his movements. Obviously they must be stronger than for any other sport because, in addition to normal attacks, they must withstand the impacts of face masks.
Shoes
Shoes
The shoes are not specific to the sport except that the metallic studs are not allowed (unlike rugby or European football).
The ball
Soccer: U.S. soccer ball
Much! The ball that gives its name to the sport: football because it does exactly one foot (foot) long.
The ball is also called Pig Skin, literally pig skin, matters of which he was originally made and still retaining the name although now cowhide.
The strings have an essential function at quarterback as they allow better control it and give it when passes, a spiral movement which greatly increases the accuracy and speed of the throw.
