MEDICINE BALL TRAINING

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Medicine Ball training is one of the oldest and most diverse forms of physical conditioning.  The Romans and Greeks used weighted balls to train their athletes and soldiers.  Today’s medicine balls are more compact, and they bounce to allow for a wider variety of exercise.  Professional athletes have embraced Medicine Ball training to improve core stability and power.  Athletic activities that require the ability to react quickly and produce high forces in a short period of time all use Medicine Ball drills.  Medicine Ball training is the ideal rehabilitation tool because it can so readily strengthen any movement pattern and restore balance.  It is an integral part of our medical exercise programs at our facilities.  Medicine Ball training is functional exercise.  It can be performed in any position, in all planes of motion, using multiple joints, and at faster speeds.  The daily activities or athletic skills you wish to improve can be easily duplicated in Medicine Ball training.  Medicine Ball produces the “carry over” of your training to real life.  See one of our Trainers or Therapists for some instruction on how to add this great activity to your program.  One or two training movements in your session can produce big gains in core stability, power, balance, and coordination.
