Can the Herzog athletic tights be used on a daily basis, for example when standing for extended periods?
Standing for extended periods can be very tiring for the legs. The reason for this: the muscle pump (which ensures that blood is pumped upwards again) doesn’t work optimally. The result is that the column of blood applies downward pressure due to gravity. The odds of oedema (fluid build-up) forming around the ankles is very high. Oedema in the legs leads to less than optimal circulation; exchange of nutrients and oxygen on the one hand and disposal of waste and metabolites (lactic acid) also stagnates. The Herzog Sport Compression tights ensure that tissue pressure is elevated, allowing swifter return of venous blood. In other words, it’s a good idea to also wear the tights during your work as – for example – waiter, hairdresser, chauffeur or standing labourer.
