Keeping your knees bent beyond the natural 90掳, increases the compressive force on the kneecap over time with shortening of the hamstring and calf muscles. This position naturally pulls your pelvis into a posterior tilt.
Blood in veins of your legs then has a harder time pumping back up to your heart, which can lead to swelling in the lower legs and an increased risk of developing varicose veins.
