Best Answer

In relation to physical education, tapering is where a performer reduces the amount of training they do before an event. For example in the marathon, a performer would not run 26 miles the day before the event as their muscles will nto have time to recover and therefore they will not perform to their optimum. A week or so before the event, they may run a full marathon, but then each day will decrease the distance they run. The day before the event, they may not run at all so their muscles have had time to recover after the training.

A " Taper " is like a gauge for your ears, but its a spike instead of a plug.
