Introduction to Exercise Balls
Exercise balls have many names depending on the brand and its application. Some common names listed here are Swiss, Stability, Physio, Fit and Flexballls. These were developed in the 1900s and used in physio therapy to treat neurological disorders such as spinal cord and stroke injuries.
It wasn’t long before Fitness professionals realised the benefit of using a ball as an exercise tool. When you incorporate he ball with strength training, the added benefits include improved balance, flexibility and co-ordination. Today balls are used in countless methods of exercise in fitness classes, by personal trainers and in the home.
The real benefit of using the ball comes from its inherent instability. Your muscles must work to keep the ball stable during exercise movements. In particular, smaller stabilizing muscles must make quick reflex adjustments to maintain balance. Many people familiar with exercise and strength training are surprised by the challenge of a ball workout. The reason is again, because a different set of muscles not normally used, is suddenly required to perform the exercise.
The main reason the ball is so popular with professional athletes and sports teams is the highly effective workout it offers to the core muscles. These muscles, also known as postural muscles include abdominal, mid and lower back. These muscles are associated with initiating movement and are integral in squatting, jumping, sitting, walking and reaching. Weak core muscles can lead to lower back pain due to poor posture
