Balance padsPrint
Exercising with maximum effect and in-depth impact
Exercising the training with in-depth strengthening of even the tiniest muscles produces maximum training effects. Some manufacturers have recognised this fact and are developing products for effective support of this kind of training.
Air-filled devices with one or two air chambers which can be pumped up individually constitute a dynamic surface and offer more stability and coordination while exercising. These devices are excellent for sensorimotor training, as unstable surface for numerous starting positions, such as standing on one or two legs, kneeling, sitting and lying. The destabilising effect of the pads activates the control functions of the brain, thus training coordination skills and reaction capability while improving posture, toe and foot functions and movement sequences.
Filled with air and made of special material, the devices are easy to transport, have a long service life and are easy to care for. The exercises can be performed anywhere without needing much space.
Various shapes are available
There are many different forms and possibilities for using the balance pad. This makes it all the more important to select the right device according to individual needs. It is also important to pay attention to first-rate workmanship and quality attributes for safe, effective and sustainable use.
The "Jumper" for example is fun to use for dynamic back training and is suitable for the whole family. The distribution of pressure ensures that exercising is kind to the joints with a trampoline effect thanks to the highly dynamic resilient material, while the non-slip surface is very safe.
A ball pad such as the "Dynair Ball Cushion XXL" or the "Dynair Extreme" is excellent for exercising the trunk and back muscles and keeps you really fit for everyday situations. With its diameter of 80 cm, the "Dynair Extreme" is large enough to exercise the whole body. The air inside the pad takes up the gentle vibrations of the body, passing them onto the spinal column. Whether at home or at the gym, the supplied exercise instructions can be used to train anywhere. Exercises are also possible standing on both ball pads, but should only be performed with assistance because of the highly instable position this involves.
A smaller ball cushion, such as the "Dynair Ball Cushion" or "Balance & fit", acts as occasional dynamic pad to support back-friendly active sitting; it trains the spinal muscles and can also be used as a balance training device at the same time. The “Dynair Pro” combines a firm surface with a soft, air-filled ball pad and is extremely versatile for use in sensomotor training and in therapy.
An air-filled balance pad such as the "Aero-Step XL" is highly versatile and offers experienced and professional users a wide range of training possibilities. The two separate air chambers can be used for specific exercising of both sides of the body, with more intensive, in-depth results, giving unusual, new stimulus to the tiny muscles that stabilise the joints. One-chamber balance pads with a low height such as the "Dynair Pads" are ideal particularly for senior citizens when commencing or recommencing balance and coordination training.
The "Balance Beam", "Balance Pad Elite" and "Balance Pad XLarge" use foam with a closed-cell structure instead of air.
The balance beam with its long shape that resembles the gymnastic appliance permits movement exercises that involve several steps.
Always pay attention to quality!
Good quality, safe training is only possible if the device offers optimum fulfilment of the safety demands, functionality and ergonomic requirements made of dynamic pads. Even if devices in this product range frequently look the same, here in particular the saying "Quality has its price" is absolutely appropriate and should be taken seriously. However, the prices are quite low so that such balance cushions are easily affordable and are also worth the investment thanks to their long service life.
Generally there is a huge range of different possibilities for working with such training devices. Complete beginners or those coming back to training will soon find the right product for their needs, just like the advanced or professional user. Reports from users are all quite positive, and there's also the fun factor to be taken into consideration.
