Faster recovery

During intense sprint training or competitions, your muscles are pushed to the limit. That is why it is essential to recover well after each session. You can choose to wear the socks after your workouts. This minimizes muscle pain afterwards and keeps your muscles in top condition. The Herzog PRO compression socks and –tubes contribute to better muscle recovery by optimizing blood circulation. This is especially important if you want to keep the training intensity high in the run-up to your competitions.

 

Less suffering from lower leg complaints

When sprinting, an enormous amount of force is exerted on the muscles. You have to push on the starting blocks as forcefully as possible from the starting shot for the optimal start. This is followed by very powerful ground contacts to get up to speed as quickly as possible. Due to this impact, common injuries among sprinters are shin splints, Achilles tendonitis or calf complaints. Because the Herzog PRO Compression Socks or Tubes hold the muscles together better during your training and prevent friction, they help the calves and ankles to absorb the heavy landings.

Compression shorts for sprinting

The hamstrings are also heavily loaded during sprinting. During sprinting, force is delivered while the hamstrings are under high tension. This means that sprinters must be careful not to overload the thigh muscles during an intensive training week. That's why sprinters often choose to wear compression shorts when they experience tight hamstrings. Going back to work after a quieter period ensures a lower workload. This is also the most dangerous point to injure the hamstrings. The Herzog PRO compression shorts give you the support you need to stay injury-free. The compression shorts also have a preventive effect when you return from a hamstring injury.

Custom compression

Thanks to the innovative sizing system, everyone has the perfect customized compression. For both the shorts and the socks, different measuring points are used to determine your size. This way we can guarantee that the compression on your muscles is optimal, and that recovery can also proceed as well as possible. At Herzog we always work with high quality yarns, so we can guarantee the best possible quality!

“During my time as a physiotherapist at NAC Breda, I recommended the PRO Compression Shorts from Herzog Medical to many players. These trousers are worn both preventively and curatively. Within football, the incidence of groin and hamstring injuries is high. With Herzog shorts you, as a physiotherapist, have an extra tool to properly manage these problems.”
