With the arrival of summer and the rise in temperatures, it's common to notice heavier, tired or even swollen legs At the end of the day. Standing for many hours, sitting, or undertaking long journeys can intensify this sensation, making walking or moving less comfortable.
Fortunately, there are small habits that can help you to relieve tired legs from the heat and regain a pleasant sensation of freshness and well-being.
Heat mainly causes the sensation of heavy legs due to vasodilation. When it's hot, your body tries to regulate its temperature by releasing heat. One of the ways it does this is by widening the blood vessels, especially in the extremities such as the legs. This process, known as vasodilation, allows more blood to flow toward the surface of the skin, where excess heat can be dissipated. However, this increased blood flow to the legs can cause the veins to expand and blood to pool in them. As a result, blood does not return to the heart as efficiently as it normally would, leading to a feeling of swelling, heaviness, and fatigue in the legs. In addition, hot weather can contribute to dehydration. If you don't drink enough fluids, your blood volume may decrease, making the blood more concentrated and harder to circulate throughout the body. This can further worsen the sensation of heavy legs. In summary, heat-related heavy legs are mainly caused by: Vasodilation: Blood vessels widen to help the body cool down, allowing blood to pool in the legs. Reduced venous return: Blood takes longer to flow back to the heart, causing swelling and a feeling of heaviness. Possible dehydration: A reduced blood volume can impair circulation and make symptoms worse.
The high temperatures favour dilation of the blood vessels, which can impede venous return and cause blood to circulate more slowly. As a consequence, many people experience:
Although it can affect anyone, this feeling is particularly common in those who spend long hours standing or sitting, undertake long journeys, or play sports in summer.

The Zurich Barcelona Marathon 2026 has made history once again. With over 32,000 participants, the city became the epicentre of international running on a day marked by effort, overcoming challenges, and high performance. Every kilometre was charged with emotion, from the start to a finish line that, for many, represented much more than a personal best.
In this demanding scenario, EXDOL has been present as the official muscle cream and a sponsor of the event, accompanying thousands of runners – professionals and amateurs alike – along the entire route. Because behind every sporting challenge is a body that gives its all, and looking after it is part of the journey to the finish line.
The competitive level of this edition has been extraordinary. Abel Chelangat took victory in the men's category with an impressive time of 2h04’57”, while Fotyen Tesfay put on a spectacular performance in the women's category, crossing the finish line in 2h10’51” and falling just 55 seconds short of the world record after maintaining a demanding pace for much of the race. This clearly reflects the demands and the level that have defined this edition.
From EXDOL, participation in the marathon has translated into an activation focused on muscle care throughout all phases of the effort. Throughout the event, the brand has been present with five EXDOL PHYSIO POINTS staffed by professionals, where assistance has been offered to thousands of runners experiencing muscle discomfort, providing direct care and specialist advice at key moments of the race.
One of the standout points was the EXDOL Hot Spot, strategically located at kilometre 41, just one kilometre from the finish line. At that point where the body reaches its limit and the mind makes the difference, this space became a genuine final push. A place of connection with the runner, where energy, motivation and support helped to transform the effort into that last step towards the finish.
EXDOL's proposal is based on a comprehensive approach to muscle care, accompanying the athlete before, during, and after exertion. From prior preparation at the Runner's Fair, with pharmaceutical advice and massages carried out by specialised physiotherapists, to muscle activation with EXDOL Hot Therapy, protection during the race with EXDOL Protect Anti-Chafing, assistance at the physio stations with EXDOL Comfort Physio, and subsequent recovery with EXDOL Comfort Forte CBD and Cold Therapy. Complete support designed to improve performance, prevent discomfort, and facilitate effective recovery.
This presence reinforces EXDOL's commitment to sport, health, and physiotherapy professionals, consolidating its positioning as a runner's ally in one of the most demanding challenges on the sporting calendar. Beyond sponsorship, it's about being close to the athlete when they need it most, adding real value at every stage of their experience.
From EXDOL, we want to thank all the runners for trusting us on such a special day. We continue running by your side. We continue caring for every kilometre.

With nearly 350 participants in different categories, the event once again demonstrated the growth and strength of mountain sports in Navarre, bringing together both top-level competitive runners and promising young trail runners. The half marathon decided the Absolute Navarre Championship. The victory went to Moha Ouyart in the men's category and to Ane Elzaurdia in the women's category. In regional terms, the titles of champions of Navarre went to Rubén Astiz and Ane Elzaurdia. In addition, the first classified runners, together with the U-18 runners, obtained a ticket for the Spanish Trail Running Championship by regional teams.
The programme also included the 14 and 11 kilometre distances, the latter corresponding to the Under-18 final, where Íñigo Molina won. In the 5-kilometre race, for the Under-16 category, the winners were Martín Argüelles and Alicia Ruiz.

Those white plaster casts with the signatures and drawings of all our friends already will only be a memory for many of us and that today's children may not live, because splints are increasingly being used for broken bones.
Casts and splints are intended to immobilise musculoskeletal injuries, reduce pain, and promote recovery, but they differ in their risks, indications, and benefits. Obviously, it is the physician who must make an accurate diagnosis, as well as assess the severity, stage, and stability of the injury to decide whether to use a cast, an intermediate option is to use an immovable splint, and the last alternative is an adjustable splint that is easily removed and put on.
The casts provide superior immobilisation, but have higher complication rates and are generally reserved for more complex and definitive fracture repairs.
However, splints are only rigid on one or two sides, they provide a place of support and stabilisation for the fracture, reducing movement of the affected area and pain. Aside from the fact that splints are much more comfortable to wear than plasters They also reduce the risk of further injury and allow the area to increase in volume due to the inflammatory process, which casts cannot do.
In reference to the pain perceived during the first days after the fracture, the painful sensation was slightly greater in the patients with a splint compared to those in plaster. With regard to bone recovery times, they were similar in both immobilisation alternatives.
Knowing the pros and cons of each, there is a clear winner for which one the specialists choose. According to surveys carried out in different emergency health centres on one of the most common injuries in children, the distal radial impalement fracture, 63% of the health workers fitted the patient with a removable splint as a method of immobilisation from the outset. If this percentage is broken down into different age groups, a splint was used in 76% of the patients. children while in adult it was a 55%.
Wrist braces with splints can be made of different fabrics, one of the most commonly used is neoprene because it maintains an optimal temperature. promoting recovery from injury.
Within the orthopaedic line of Exdol different models of devices are available to help immobilise, support or correct different parts of the body according to the patient's needs and the indications advised by the specialist.
Who hasn't had aches and pains?, The intense pain that starts to appear in the body 12 hours after doing some exercise that we are not used to.
We have always been told that this pain was caused by the formation of lactic acid crystals which caused micro-cracks in the muscle cells, and that this is why the pain felt as if thousands of pins were being stuck in it. Nowadays this theory is totally obsolete as these supposed crystals have never been found, and furthermore people who have a pathology in which they cannot create lactic acid also suffer from stiffness.
This painful sensation, whose technical name is muscle pain of delayed onset (DOMS), is due to intense eccentric contractions (stretching of the muscle) performed repetitively. As for the exact mechanism of how it originates, there are several hypotheses, but all agree that a tear is produced in the muscle fibre due to the exercise being performed, causing the release of substances that trigger inflammation and therefore the sensation of pain.
There are several ways that can prevent or alleviate the feeling of DOMS:
-Oral supplements:
·BCAA: are branched amino acids, (leucine, isoleucine, valine) and there are 8 studies published between 2012 -2018 that have demonstrated their efficacy in reducing DOMS if administered before exercise.
·Protease: may attenuate soreness after exercise and may facilitate muscle healing by bringing about a more rapid restoration of contractile function.
·Turmeric: administered orally reduces soreness after exercise and there is some evidence of improved recovery of muscle performance.
·Omega 3: helps control the post-exercise inflammatory response
·Caffeine: Several scientific publications show that drinking caffeine before sport improves performance and reduces pain afterwards. Interestingly, these benefits of caffeine will be less noticeable in women.
-Anti-inflammatory drugs: taking NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen) may reduce muscle soreness induced after exercise but does not help to restore muscle function..
-Foam Roller: are foam rollers that exert pressure on the muscles when we apply our body weight on them, emulating a massage that increases the flow of blood and oxygen and reducing the oedema produced.
-Massage: A study on the effect of massage on DOMS found that people who received a massage for 3 days after physical exercise perceived significantly less pain than people who did not receive a massage.
-Heat: the immediate application of heat has a DOMS-reducing effect.
-Arnica: topically, used after eccentric exercise relieves the sensation of muscle pain. This effect is enhanced when combined with menthol.
Massage creams are a good solution to relieve this type of muscle pain. The new Exdol cream Comfort Cream Forte is a massage cream with CBD (Cannabidiol), Vanillyl, Arnica, Menthol, Calendula, Tea Tree and Hypericum. Due to its soothing and relaxing properties, it is highly recommended for the relief of contractures and muscle fatigue, as it offers a comforting warmth and analgesic effect on the applied area.
