But whether the calf training accelerates it? I can`t fin d any serious information about it.
I doubt that Shelestov vould have that varicose in his age without training, or I am wrong?

I thought training -> pumping -> circulation of blood etc. helps preventing varicose veins....  ???

Genetic and also tends to occur in people who are in a job that has them on their feet a lot. I think it's due to the valves in the veins getting damaged by blood falling back down against them

it has something to do with a faulty valve in the leg...it is treatable in an outpatient facility.
