How do you prevent tired legs during winter sports?

What causes tired legs?

Many people don't think about it... When skiing and snowboarding, there is no optimal muscle pumping effect in your calves. Because your lower legs are virtually motionless in your ski or snowboard boots, the blood circulation in your calf muscles is far from ideal. Winter sports enthusiasts often experience tired legs, stiff calves or restless thighs on day two or three. This 'heavy feeling' is easy to explain. It is not surprising that at the end of the day you want nothing more than to 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 effect is limited. The blood vessels in your calves are not regularly and rhythmically compressed, causing reduced blood circulation. The result is tired legs and in some cases even crampy symptoms.

What does the Herzog Support Socks do?

The Herzog Support Socks, or the Ski Socks, can prevent these types of discomforts. How exactly does this work? The sock compresses, that is, pushes on your leg muscles in such a way that the highest pressure is exerted on the ankle and decreases towards the knee. The blood in the veins, with the waste products from the combustion process dissolved in it, is therefore adequately drained against gravity, so that the supply of arterial blood is no longer obstructed. This ensures optimal microcirculation. The result is that you feel less tired and can continue skiing or boarding for longer without any problems.
