Knee wrap use survey

OBS: I am interested in your answer even if you don't use or never used a knee wrap. A negative response is as important as a positive one in research.

The objective of this survey is to assess athletes' and regular strength training practitioners' attitudes and behaviors concerning the knee wrap.
The collected data will be used for articles I write about training and training equipment.
