Training balls

Training balls are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Training Equipment category, as they are used for strength, stability, balance, coordination and functional training exercises. They are suitable for home workouts, gym training, recreational activity, core exercises and certain recovery or physiotherapy routines.

This category includes products such as the Gymstick medicine ball with handle and the Thera-Band ABS exercise ball 65 cm green. Training balls can help activate the core, leg, arm and stabilizing muscles, and they are used for different types of exercises – from strengthening and stretching to balance work and movement control.

Training balls do not replace a professionally guided exercise or rehabilitation program, but they can be excellent support for gradual strengthening, improved mobility and better body control. In case of injuries, back pain, joint problems or reduced mobility, exercises should be performed according to professional advice.
