taping

Taping refers to using adhesive tape for sticking or attaching things.

When you think about taping, you probably imagine putting sticky tape on an injury to help it heal. That's one common use of taping. People also use taping when they're working with film or TV shows. In this case, taping is the process of recording a show in front of a live audience, like a comedy special or a talk show. It can also be used for sports training - coaches and trainers will often tape their athletes' muscles to provide support and help prevent injuries during games or practices.
