Yes. Aids the 'peripheral pump'.

Quote:
....
Due to the force of gravity, in a human body at rest, standing erect,
a hydrostatic vein blood pressure of about 90-100mmHg opposes blood
return to the heart.
....

This pumping action is flanked by a system of valves within the veins
that keep the blood from flowing back down between muscle
contractions.

In cycling, the efficiency of this peripheral pump is enhanced by high
pedaling cadences (International Journal of Sports Medicine 1996;17 :
17-21).

In certain individuals, this system functions imperfectly. With
increased age, for example, valve efficiency is reduced, and the
Peripheral Pump doesn’t work as well as it should. ...

In such cases it can be helpful to use graduated compression medical
support socks which, applying the correct pressure from the exterior,
can facilitate the functioning of Peripheral Pump.

How "natural" is 3% "body" fat"?"

Do you think using quotes calls your "intelligence" into question?

Actually, I have made a case that 3% body fat does not make scientific
sense. In fact, I have yet to find a definition of body fat that makes
rigorous sense.

I may need Chung over at the classical guitar ng. Some people take for
granted that blood cholesterol is a scam perpetrated by the phama
companies to sell statins--and that higher cholesterol is good for you.
Not HDL-cholesterol, but total cholesterol. Low cholesterol they say
is linked to Alzheimer's d.
None of this makes sense.

I thought that 5% body fat was required for correct nervous function.
Else they'll be falling off the mountains.
