Abstract: A protection implement, particularly suitable for sports applications, constituted by at least one first outer protective element which is advantageously rigid and optionally by one or more second elastically compressible elements which are arranged internally. At least one third element, advantageously constituted by a two-sided vertical-warp knitted fabric, is arranged below the at least one first outer protective element.

Abstract: A skate provided with a supporting frame for in-line wheels and comprising a shoe which is composed of a nonrigid upper that, in a sandwich-like fashion, surrounds a stiffening element which affects the regions of the tip, of the heel, of the ankle and of the sole of the foot, and a lateral band or rim made of rubber which externally and laterally surrounds said upper proximate to said region of the sole of the foot. An anchoring sole for the frame is formed thereat. A skate is obtained which at the same time allows optimum transmission of forces from the foot to the wheel supporting frame and optimum fit for the user's foot.
