Strength training with small equipment
Small equipment provides a great way to strengthen the body while also being gentle on the joints. They are also perfect for sports enthusiasts who prefer not to train in a gym.
They are an essential component of an effective training program for older adults. Training with fitness small equipment not only promotes physical but also mental abilities. These can be used for sensory-motor training, coordination training, and strength training, offering a good space-saving and cost-effective alternative to traditional machine and dumbbell training.
They are versatile and can be well adapted to the needs of older adults. They can be used, for example, for high-intensity training, but also for endurance-focused training.
