Shaky Legs After Standing For A Long Time. Reason?

Today I was doing aflag ceremony and was standing at the position of attention for about 5 minutes..When I started marching forward I was fine,but when I went back to the position of attention,my legs started shaking for no apparent reason. I m not sure if I locked my knees,but if I did can this be the cause? this is the first time this has ever happened.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The shaking of the leg can be related to muscle fatigue or anxiety. Since this has happened for the first time, there is nothing to worry. You can just ignore it. In case this happens again then you need to consult a physician for a physical examination.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
