Many parents pay great attention to the mental development of the child and practically do not affect the physical, considering the first to be more important. But a person must develop harmoniously, because it is not in vain that wisdom says that in a he althy body there is a he althy mind. One of the simplest and most economical ways of physical education of a child is the Swedish wall, which has proven itself only on the positive side for a long time.
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 the therapist and scientist Per Henrik Lin, who developed a system of therapeutic exercises. It was within the framework of the therapeutic gymnastics program that such a simulator was used for the first time. 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 corners.
Swedish wall is structurally a frame with rungs, very similar to a ladder. The height of the simulator ranges from 210 to 260centimeters. The number of bars is from 7 to 16 pieces. Moreover, the penultimate crossbar is usually slightly pushed back to the wall, and the last one, on the contrary, is pushed forward.
The classic Swedish wall was made of beech and maple. To date, the most common wooden and metal simulators. If a Swedish wall is chosen for children, then it is better to consider options made of wooden materials, since 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 splinters.
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 also be able to interest the child. Among the additional modules there are such modules as a rope, a rope ladder, a basketball hoop, gymnastic rings, a bench, parallel bars, and a horizontal bar. And this means that the Swedish wall, the price of which is quite low, with the gradual addition of modules, can always arouse the interest of the child and turn into a real home sports complex.
But why 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 muscles. Both of these factors are very important. The wall can be used for ab workouts, stretching and a host of other exercises. But for all their abundantfunctionality, it takes up very little space, which in an apartment is a very important factor. And it also allows you to physically develop the child, if it is not possible to visit the training room, which in modern life is also a very significant factor that many are forced to pay attention to.
