Why use a FitBall®
Exercises to encourage balance, coordination and interaction between muscles should take into account your:
- kinesthetic level (position of muscles and joints)
- vestibular level (balance)
- sensory perception
But when exercising with the FitBall® there is almost always an element of coordination integrated because the ball tends to roll and/or bounce.
Every exercise for strength, endurance or mobility challenges and stimulates motor reflexes, balance and intermuscular coordination.
Physical activity however does not only have a positive effect to our body. People who regularly exercise are mentally stronger and have a better resistance against stresses. For elder people training provides many benefits: The opportunity for social contacts and the gain of self confidence and independence in their daily tasks such as shopping and housekeeping etc.
