The correct use of leggings is as follows:
One is sand leggings, which are wider and bind the calf. Pay attention to wearing stockings or bandages, or you will move. The other one is narrow, which is dedicated to the ankle, that is, the ankle.
Either way, you should have a concept of time, and don't stick it for too long, otherwise the blood won't circulate.

For professional athletes, the weight-increasing sports vest is a common training tool. In fact, ordinary people can also use it to improve the sports effect when exercising.
A recent article in the Los Angeles Times pointed out that if you often practice carrying loads, when you remove these loads, your endurance, reaction, speed and explosiveness will increase.
Baseball players often swing a weighted bat during training, and the principle is the same. In addition, through weight-bearing exercises, you can exercise the strength of the knee joint, back, ankle and wrist, and reduce the chance of injury in sports. Regular exercise with some "extra burden" can also improve cardiopulmonary function by increasing exercise intensity.
American sports experts say that weight-bearing can be carried out in sports such as running, cycling and swimming, or in leisure time, such as doing housework at home. Many bodybuilders wear X-Vest sports vests used by US Navy special forces "SEALs" and many professional athletes during training. This vest has various specifications such as 12-84 kg, which is very comfortable and will not affect sports.
In addition to wearing vests, fitness enthusiasts can also carry loads on ankles, wrists, upper arms and thighs to exercise specific muscle groups.
Sun, an associate professor of physical education and training at Beijing Sport University, said that tying sandbags to increase physical load can really improve exercise efficiency and increase the energy consumed in the same time. Professional athletes often use this method when losing weight.
If ordinary bodybuilders try to carry weight during exercise, Sun suggests adjusting the weight according to their own situation first, so as to achieve gradual progress; Secondly, if the load is placed on the arm or leg, pay attention to the weight symmetry on both sides; In addition, it is to prevent the edge of the sandbag from grinding the skin during movement; In addition, because the material outside the sandbag is generally nylon cloth, the air permeability is poor and it is not suitable for long-term binding.
