I heard that wearing wrist guards like for vault or floor, for the impact on your wrists, might affect your wrist strength - making them weaker, because the wrist guards don't let your wrists fully use the muscles and build on them, and then you lose those muscles, etc. Better to use the wrist guards just when your wrists really hurt, and also if taping and wrapping your wrists help when they hurt, that may be better also. And when your wrists feel better and don't hurt, to not wear them and not get used to wrapping them/wearing wrist guards. Also good to do wrist exercises to build them up if you need to - with a small weight (like a couple pounds) do wrist exercises like moving your wrist up and down, side to side, and around (sounds like the hokey-poke huh?! lol).
