The purpose of this study is to develop a flexible football shin guard with wearability and high impact absorption. To fabricate the flexible shin guard, the crosslink density of soft epoxy resin was changed to control the relaxation modulus of soft epoxy resin Prototype shin guards were fabricated with the epoxy resin as an outer shell and epoxy foam as an inner foam to evaluate the performance as a shin guard for football. The fabricated shin guards were confirmed to be sufficiently flexible to wearing. The impact tests revealed that the proposed shin guards had high impact absorption characteristics compared with a commercially available one.
