PRO Compression Shorts

Unfortunately, groin and hamstring injuries are all too familiar to many athletes. Compression shorts help you keep muscles compact and prevent groin and thigh injuries.

Operation of the Shorts

The Herzog PRO Sport Compression Shorts provide measured compression on the thigh. This compression ensures that the muscle mass in the upper leg remains compact. When sprinting, pushing hard and turning quickly, large tensile forces are created on tendons and attachments; the compression shorts ensure that this is greatly reduced. This drastically reduces the risk of injuries.

The thigh muscles are relatively heavy muscles, which means that the risk of muscle injuries due to shaking forces and shock loads is high. The high compression values ​​of these sports compression shorts ensure that this risk is greatly reduced.

In football and hockey, groin injuries are in the top 3 of the most common injuries. The counter pressure in the groin region makes these shorts very suitable for the prevention of groin injuries.
