Athletics is an ancient sport where athletes perform individually or in groups. The sport of running is currently extremely popular. Young and old enjoy running. This applies to both the avid competitive runner who trains almost daily to improve performance and the recreational athlete who runs a leisurely lap a few times a week. The colorful collection of Herzog compression socks are popularly worn while running. In addition to running, long jump, throwing and high jump are also part of Athletics. Because this sport demands a lot from the (lower) legs, compression socks have become an indispensable part of the running scene.
Calf, Achilles tendon and shin complaints
In the medical world, the Therapeutic Elastic Compression Sock is used for people with varicose veins or edema (fluid retention) in the legs. They benefit from wearing these socks that closely enclose the lower leg. The experiences among athletes with calf, Achilles tendon and shin complaints or another lower leg injury also point in this direction.
"Op advies ben ik compressiekousen gaan dragen. De kousen zitten strak en houden mijn spieren in mijn onderbeen compact bij elkaar. Dit voelt als een hele strakke tweede huid en alsof bij iedere landing al mijn spieren worden vastgehouden en beschermd waardoor ik minimale of geen spanning voel in mijn kuiten."
