Many parents pay great attention to the mental development of the child and practically do not affect the physical, considering the first more important. But a person must develop harmoniously, because it is not for nothing that the wisdom says that in a healthy body there is a healthy mind. One of the simplest and most economical methods of physical education of a child is the Swedish wall, which for a long time has established itself only on the positive side.
But let's start with the story. This
sports equipment was invented, as the name implies, in Sweden at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its inventor is therapist and scientist Per Henrik Lin, who developed the system of therapeutic exercises. It was within the framework of the therapeutic gymnastics program that such a simulator was first used. Over time, the Swedish wall began to be actively used in gyms, and then at home. Today it is one of the most common elements in home sports areas.
The Swedish wall is structurally a crossbar frame, very similar to a staircase. The height of the simulator ranges from 210 to 260 centimeters. The number of bars is from 7 to 16 pieces. Moreover, the penultimate crossbar is usually slightly pushed to the wall, and the latter, on the contrary, is advanced.
The classic Swedish wall was made of beech and maple. To date, the most common wooden and metal simulators. If you choose a
Swedish wall for children, it is better to consider options from wooden materials, because they are safer. But at the same time, you should carefully check the purchased model for the quality of the connection of parts and the absence of splinter.
The modern wall differs from its historical prototype in that it can be supplemented with various elements that will not only increase its functionality, but can also interest the child. Among the additional modules there are such as a rope, a rope ladder, a basketball hoop, gymnastic rings, a bench, parallel bars, horizontal bar. And this means that the Swedish wall, the price of which is quite low, with the gradual addition of modules can always cause interest in the child and turn into a real home sports complex.
But what is the Swedish wall good for the development of the child and will it really be useful? Everything is very simple. Training on the simulator allows you to strengthen the children's spine and develop muscle. Both of these factors are very important. The wall can be used to train the abs, stretching and many other exercises. But with all its abundant functional capabilities, it takes up very little space, which in the conditions of an apartment is a very important factor. And also it allows you to
physically develop the child, if it is not possible to attend the training room, which in modern life is also a very significant factor that many are forced to pay attention to.
