How do you prevent tired legs during winter sports?

How do those tired legs occur?

Many people don't think about it... While skiing and snowboarding, the muscle pump action in your calves is not optimal. Because your lower legs are virtually motionless in your ski or snowboard boots, blood circulation in your calf muscles is far from ideal. Often, winter sports enthusiasts experience tired legs, stiff calves, or restless thighs on day two or three. This 'heavy feeling' is easy to explain. It's also not at all strange that at the end of the day, all you want to do is quickly take off those heavy ski boots. Due to the static position of your leg in your ski or snowboard boot, the calf muscle pump action is limited. The blood vessels in your calves are not regularly and rhythmically compressed, leading to reduced blood circulation. The result is tired legs and, in some cases, even cramp-like symptoms.

What does the Herzog Support Sock do?

The Herzog Support Sock, or the Ski Sock, can prevent such discomfort. How does this work exactly? The sock compresses, meaning it pushes on your leg muscles in such a way that the highest pressure is applied to the ankle and decreases towards the knee. The blood in the veins, containing the waste products of the combustion process, is thus adequately drained against gravity, which also means that the supply of arterial blood is no longer obstructed. This results in optimal microcirculation. The result is that you feel less tired and can continue skiing or boarding problem-free for longer.
