The Air Cushion is a great tool to utilise with kids and adults alike, as it is fun as well as challenging. Limited only by your imagination, there are plenty of ways to incorporate the Air Cushion into any type of training session.
The Air Cushion is ideal for:
Improving coordination and reaction speeds – the instability of the air cushion will stimulate and enhance neuromuscular coordination. - Motor skills for improving balance and stability – the unpredictable nature of the air cushion challenges the body’s stabilisers improving joint stability and control.
- As a therapeutic exercise tool for injury rehab – as above
- Strength and conditioning of core musculature and posture control – used properly the Air Cushion can be utilised to stimulate and strengthen the core musculature.
- Improve concentration and cognitive reaction speeds – the participant can perform movements/exercises on the cushion while simultaneously answering questions, solving problems or performing another task i.e. single leg balance while catching and throwing a ball.
- Combines the advantages of a Wobble Board and Swiss Ball.
- The spiked under surface stimulates your foot/back through acupressure.
