Prolonged sitting in a commercial truck cabin increases the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT / tiefe Venenthrombose) and chronic cardiovascular disease. What evidence-based preventive measures should a professional driver incorporate during daily driving breaks?
- Perform calf muscle pump exercises (toe-raising and ankle circles), walk actively for 10–15 minutes during breaks, maintain generous water intake, avoid crossing legs when seated, and wear medical compression socks if prone to venous insufficiency
- Remain completely stationary in the driver's seat and avoid moving during all 45-minute breaks
- Consume energy drinks and smoke cigarettes to increase blood circulation
- Tighten belts and restrictive clothing to stop blood pooling in the feet
Answer: A — Perform calf muscle pump exercises (toe-raising and ankle circles), walk actively for 10–15 minutes during breaks, maintain generous water intake, avoid crossing legs when seated, and wear medical compression socks if prone to venous insufficiency
