Balance board

Balance board.

Blue Sports Balance board is a wooden board that rolls on a high quality hard plastic tube. The tube is covered with a high density fabric to ensure the softness of each movement. The board is a 11 ply hard wood liminate which makes it almost unbreakable.

The top of the board is covered with a high quality grip tape to prevent slips. There are 2 openings at each end that act as handles.  4 hard plastic stoppers are attached underneath the board so the lateral movements are stopped before going off the roll.

Rocker-roller boards add a degree of instability to the rocker board that makes them much more challenging for the rider than a rocker board is. Rather than on a fixed pivot, a rocker-roller’s board is placed on a cylindrical roller; this fulcrum is a wheel that moves in relation to the ground and in relation to the board.

The board’s pivot point shifts back and forth as the cylinder rolls beneath it. In almost all models the two flat ends of the wheel/roller are about as far from each other as the width of the board. In most models the axis of the roller is perpendicular to the board’s length. Thus, as the rider’s weight moves over the roller, the board both tilts from side to side and also slides sideways. In models whose roller can be placed with its axis parallel to the board’s length, the board slides and tilts toward the front and back (if the rider’s feet are oriented accordingly).

This balance board can help develop in many ways, the following:

• Hockey : Stability, Agility, Stickhandling, Explosion
• Training: Stabilyze muscles, better posture, global strengthening
• Board sports: Coordination, Stability
• Speed skating: Balance, core reinforcement, better posture, ankle reinforcement
