Maximize your sprint performance with Herzog
- Herzog Medical
Sprinting is a discipline primarily focused on speed. By generating a lot of power in combination with good technique, you achieve the highest possible top speed. By completing your training sessions effectively, you can generate better speed and become a better sprinter. In a discipline where minor aches and pains can quickly prevent you from training optimally, Herzog PRO products are the ideal aid.
Faster recovery
During intense sprint training sessions or competitions, your muscles are pushed to their limits. Therefore, it is essential to recover well after each session. You can choose to wear the socks after your training sessions. This minimizes muscle soreness afterwards and keeps your muscles in top condition. The Herzog PRO compression socksand –Tubescontribute to better muscle recovery by optimizing blood circulation. This is especially important if you want to maintain high training intensity in the run-up to your competitions.
Fewer lower leg complaints
During sprinting, enormous force is exerted on the muscles. From the starting gun, you have to push as powerfully as possible off the starting blocks for an 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 keep the muscles together better during training and prevent friction, they help the calves and ankles absorb the heavy landings.
Compression shorts for sprinting
The hamstrings are also heavily loaded during sprinting. During sprinting, force is exerted while the hamstrings are under high tension. This means that sprinters during an intensive training week must be careful not to overwork their thigh muscles. Therefore, sprinters often choose to wear compression shorts when they experience stiff hamstrings. Returning to full training after a quieter period leads to reduced load capacity. This is also the most dangerous point to sustain a hamstring injury. TheHerzog PRO compression shortsprovide the support you need to stay injury-free. Even when returning from a hamstring injury, compression shorts work preventively.
Custom compression
Thanks to theinnovative sizing systemeveryone gets the perfect custom compression. Both the shorts and the socks use different measurement points to determine your size. This way, we can guarantee that the compression on your muscles is optimal, and recovery can proceed as well as possible. Herzog always uses high-quality yarns, so we can guarantee the best possible quality!
