Backed by Dynamic Systems Theory (DST)
The TAP® Weighted Forearm Sleeve functions as a constraint-based training tool, altering the interaction between the athlete, environment, and task. This drives adaptive movement patterns and long-term motor learning.
- Self-Organization: Encourages the body to discover efficient movement strategies under load.
- Constraint-Led Adaptation: The sleeve’s weight and placement challenge the neuromuscular system to stabilize dynamically.
- Attractor Shifts: Promotes more stable and functional shoulder movement patterns over time.
- Movement Variability: Introduces controlled variability to enhance adaptability and coordination.
Product Specifications
- Weight: 16 ounces
- Fit: Three adjustable straps for secure placement
- Use Cases: Strength training, rehab, injury prevention, warm-ups
- Cleaning: Surface clean only with mild, skin-safe solutions
Whether you're recovering from injury, building shoulder resilience, or optimizing athletic performance, the TAP® Weighted Forearm Sleeve delivers science-backed results in a compact, wearable format.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the movement is controlled and supervised, the Forearm Weight can enhance neuromuscular coordination during sport-specific actions.
- Great for dry reps of throwing, serving, or overhead swings
- Reinforces shoulder stability under dynamic load
- Best used during warm-ups or low-intensity technical drills
Unlike bands or free weights, the Forearm Weight provides localized, wearable resistance that moves with the arm—ideal for dynamic stabilization.
