Balls

Medicine balls

Medicine balls are weighted balls commonly used during fitness training. Medicine balls vary in weight from very light to extremely heavy and can be used for strength training. Medicine balls were originally intended for rehabilitation and physiotherapy: hence the label of 'medicine' balls. Medicine ball use has since become very popular within several different sports. This is understandable, since medicine ball exercises improve balance, coordination, explosiveness, strength and stability.

Medicine balls during rehabilitation

Medicine balls are often used by physiotherapists during rehabilitation training. Incorporating these weighted balls into a rehabilitation program enables the patient to easily perform controlled movements aimed at muscle recovery.

Medicine balls as training aid

Medicine balls are frequently used within various forms of fitness training. Indeed, medicine balls are an ideal aid for strengthening the muscles of the lower-body, including the abdominals, thighs, hamstrings, buttock, and lower-leg muscles. These weighted balls are also suitable for pre-season training: athletes and professional sportsmen utilize them when warming-up. Medicine ball use improves movement speed and precision, and effectively increases muscle strength.
