My friend, a long time murmillo, had theorised that the band around the knee was for knee support as he noticed that when he assumed the "gladiators crouch" there was always pressure on the right knee.
So- it is possibly an equivalent to a modern day sports person wearing a band around their knee or elbow for extra support.
