Brandende bovenbenen?

Of je nu een geoefende of ongeoefende skiër bent, die brandende bovenbenen kennen we allemaal. Niet vreemd want je bovenbenen staan constant op spanning en krijgen weinig rust. Alleen jouw skischoenen vragen al om een ‘ongewone belasting’: je voeten staan in een stand waarbij de hielen ietsje hoger staan dan je tenen. Om evenwicht te bewaren, moet je dus door je knieën zakken. Hiermee worden de spieren aan de voorzijde van het bovenbeen behoorlijk en langdurig belast. De één ervaart pas na een afdaling van 3 kilometer het gevoel van vermoeide of brandende bovenbenen, de ander al na een paar honderd meter. De oorzaak hiervan is een stapeling van afvalstoffen in je bovenbenen. Wist je dat de Herzog Pro Compressiebroek ervoor zorgt dat deze afvalstoffen zowel tijdens, maar zeker ook na het skiën gemakkelijker worden afgevoerd? Ideaal wanneer je de volgende dag weer fris op de piste wil staan!

Nooit meer koude voeten

Altijd last van koude voeten tijdens je wintersportvakantie? Logisch ook wel… Want simpel gezegd zijn je voeten ver van je hart verwijderd en dus komt het warme bloed hier minder snel en gemakkelijk. Zeker niet wanneer de spierpompwerking van jouw kuiten in je statische skischoenen behoorlijk belemmerd wordt. Met de Support Compressiekous ben je verzekerd van warme tenen. De kous heeft namelijk een wat dikker voetbed dan onze reguliere PRO Sport Compressiekous en is gebreid met microgarens die een ideale warmte-uitwisseling garanderen.

Prevent Perform Recover

Maybe you recognize this… After a day of intense skiing or snowboarding, your legs can feel quite heavy in the evening. The next day, you might feel a bit stiff, experience sore calves, or even suffer from the first signs of cramps. Many winter sports enthusiasts also experience that burning sensation in their thighs. How can you ensure you hit the slopes with fresh legs every day during your winter sports holiday?

What causes tired legs?

Many people don't realize it... While skiing and snowboarding, optimal muscle pumping isn't taking place in your calves. Because your lower legs are virtually motionless in your ski or snowboard boots, blood circulation in your calf muscles is far from ideal. Winter sports enthusiasts often experience tired legs, stiff calves, or restless thighs by the second or third day.

01
The Herzog Support Compression Stockings

The Herzog Support Compression Sock, also known as a ski sock, can prevent these kinds of discomforts. How does it work exactly? The sock compresses—that is, pushes on your leg muscles—so that the greatest pressure is exerted on the ankle and decreases towards the knee.

The blood in the veins, containing dissolved waste products from the combustion process, is then adequately drained against gravity, thus preventing arterial blood flow from being obstructed. This results in optimal microcirculation. As a result, you feel less tired and can ski or snowboard for longer without any problems.

02
What makes this Compression Stocking so special?

The answer is simple: custom-made. The Herzog Support Compression Sock works optimally thanks to its special measuring system. At Herzog, we take into account that every winter athlete has unique leg contours.

For comparison: a tall, 2-meter-tall skier with size 43 shoes has different calf contours than an agile, 1.70-meter-tall snowboarder with the same shoe size. For an optimal fit, you should measure your lower leg at several points. Want to determine your standard size? Use the 'calculate your size' button you can easily see how to do this.

Pro skier, Belgium

I broke my leg for the second time while alpine skiing and knew that rehabilitation would be difficult. To get back to sports faster, I contacted Herzog about their compression socks. Thanks to their compression socks, I suffered much less from fluid retention and shin splints, so I was able to walk again in no time during my rehabilitation. I am now back on my skis much faster than during my first rehabilitation. The compression tubes and socks are also easy to wear under my ski socks and provide extra shock absorption while skiing. Herzog Medical certainly helped me with a smoother recovery.
