2 Growing old in good health - makes really fun What we lack is movement... Physical inactivity has been shown as the main cause for many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. In addition, the increasing passivity and the natural process of age-related declines in function causing us to lose the so important interaction of muscles more and more. The lack of exercise causes our muscles to wither and in the end it leads to static overloads and poor posture. The resulting consequences range from deficient stimuli-processing speed (deterioration of reaction capability), over shakiness at movements through lack of motion control, up to postural problems failing muscular stability and associated posture muscular imbalances caused by wrong, one-sided movements. Other consequences are i. e. increasing and often painful limitation of movement, back problems, risk of falling and also physical and mental disorders. Physical exercises are the best decision for health and well-being Through regular coordination and balance training, senior citizens can gain more safety in everyday life and go through life more independently. Tests show that targeted balance training improves both the speed (with which the muscles develop strength at the beginning of a movement) and the maximum strength of the leg muscles. Therefore additional strength training is often not necessary because balance exercises already contribute to muscle development. In order to improve our balance system, we need to put our body in situations that promote our balance. Pedalo offers a wide range of exercise equipment with different and changeable levels of difficulty, adapted to the users performance level. Versatile in use In many senior citizen facilities as well as in practices and health centers, Pedalo-coordination devices are in use all year round. The devices are particularly popular due to the robustness of wood given by nature and the versatile application possibilities. And last not least wood has the flair of nature, it is environmentally friendly and with an individual character. So also with Pedalo-Partner 'Haid Reha Engstingen', 'Reha-sport-Gesundheit e.v. Wendlingen', 'health manufactory ''Carpe Diem'' Nordhausen', where the equipment is used from the very first day. Further references upon request.

4 Pedalo Stabilizer 'Therapy' The Pedalo-Stabilizer trains your entire body to improve sensory control of posture and movement. It offers a multitude of exercises while standing or being supported. The high sensibility of the stand platform (through three-dimensional effect) immediately shows the slightest imbalances and instabilities of the loco-motor system. Therapy and training with the Pedalo-Stabilizer are highly effective, because the Stabilizer s mode of operation increases the receiving information of proprioceptors and receptors. This stimulates and improves the coordination of the inter-segmented muscles. Subsequently, it improves reaction and stabilizes the entire loco-motor system. The motion limiter enables the user to adjust the range of motion and vibration speed. The Pedalo-Stabilizer version Therapy shows its complete effect when used with patients who suffer from neurological disorders. In particular, with seniors to train balance (body stability, fall prevention). Specification: Metal frame suitable for quick and easy disassembly. Platform 60x35 cm. Inkl. Pedalo-Anti-Slip-Mat 48.
