Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

My son and several teammates and opposing players use them for basketball and like them. As for older players I can only surmise the compression helps stabilize the knee. I wear compression sleeves myself on my knees every night and these seem of similar quality. Hope that helps

I have a pair and a bad knee. I use them in martial arts as a shield. I also use them when I do power lunges and kneel exercises. The kneel exercises I do, is I go down on one knee and rise. I also use them in all exercises that require me to go down on my damage knee. They work just fine, one warrening, if you have issues with skin or blood flow from the legs consult a DR.

Advice for people with healthy knees: If you're alright with doubling over the mat for positions which put your weight on your knees, then go for the Harmony. The Harmony mat bends and unbends really easily. I never feel hassled when I fold the mat over to protect my knees. Also, Harmony's thinness makes it ideal for balance poses. I sometimes find that cushier mats affect my balance. However, if you suffer from knee issues, then disregard everything I just said and get the density. My husband has had knee surgery after sports accidents, thus he uses thick mats because of existing miniscus damage. It's imperative that he do so, because knee issues never go away and only get worse over time.

I have not used my knee pads indoor,but we just had a new floor put down by 2 professionals,and both men wore these particular knee pads on their knees,and there was no damage to the flooring at all.

Yes. In fact that is what I used it for because it is bigger than the knee pad and provides more complete coverage.

I dont know if it is good for preventing knee problems, but the support it gives keeps me from re-injuring my knee.

Got these for my son who plays basketball. Pads are thick enough to protect his knees.

I used the universal pad for my son's knee surgery. It comes with velcro so you can tighten it up how you want it.

Both. They slide on with a sleeve that has holes/perforations and a small cut to accommodate flexed position of your knees. I personally think the cut behind the knees should be bigger Overall they are great kneepads for protection and being low-profile.

In my opinion this knee pad provides protection when you land on your knees while playing sports like soccer, basketball etc. It does not provide the support needed for squatting with weights. You should look at products like this ...http://www.amazon.com/Lifter-Weight-Lifting-Supports-Training/dp/B00BTZAMIK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424548026&sr;=8-9&key;words=knee+protection+for+weight+lifting

Yes, this is well padded and would be great for that. I am a personal trainer and use this for a couple of my older adult clients for floor work and it is great for protecting knees and elbows.

I'm only a user, and I wasn't able to play volleyball without pain(I quit playing for a while). It's working for me, I had that tibeofemoral inestability and now, with the Knee Suppport, I don't have to be worry about my knee when I play volleyball. Of course is better to ask a profesional about this.

Yes, this is appropriate for volleyball. Most of the girls on my daughter's team wear this brace or something similar.

No that I can see but if you put on heavy ankle wieghts possibly it may create a better workout. I got this version and my dad got the one with the better padded knee pad. Get the better one

I use the the 5mm knee sleeve for basketball and running. It has allowed me to return to these activities without the pain that was shutting me down. I'm almost positive that this sleeve would offer the same pain reduction and support for tennis.
