It’s not long until the first snow, the anticipation of skiers is growing and the ski areas are getting ready for the season. Winter sportspeople should also prepare: Jump yourself fit, that’s the motto of training with the TOGU Jumper Pro, the further developed follow-up model of the popular Jumper. It is the ideal training partner for winter sportspeople and makes ski gymnastics both more varied and more effective. As well as this fun factor, the equipment offers various training options which reduce the risk of injury whilst skiing.
Winter sportspeople should prepare for the season with fitness training – this is well-known. Because the summer break means that the demands of ski sports are unfamiliar at the start of the season. One gets tired quickly which increases the risk of injury. The fitter you are at the start the season, the longer you can enjoy the first days of skiing. To simulate the demands of skiing, it is important to train with exercises which work on strength, endurance and co-ordination, but also the sense of balance, sensorimotor functions and reaction times.
Air-filled training equipment makes training even more effective
Exercises on air-filled training equipment, such as the TOGU Jumper Pro, create additional small balancing movements. As well as the actual exercise, sportspeople must also use their entire bodies to maintain balance. This means they are also training the sensorimotor system. Thanks to the improved information processing in the nervous system, muscles or movements can be more precisely controlled. The interaction of the individual muscles and fascial structures is improved. The execution and quality of movement is improved, and reaction time is shortened. This leads to increased safety, for example when reacting to unexpected obstacles on the piste. The best proof of the target-oriented training options of the TOGU Jumper are successful skiers such as Gerd Schönfelder. The many-time Paralympics medal winner relies on TOGU products in his training.
The perfect training partner to get fit for the ski season: TOGU Jumper Pro
The Jumper Pro is a piece of multi-functional training equipment: an air-filled trampoline ball made of durable Ruton on a glass fibre reinforced base plate. When using it, the impact of the jump is absorbed by the user, just like a trampoline effect; it adds a lot of fun to your training regime at home or at the studio. It trains balance, facilitates strength and endurance training, promotes co-ordination and is absolutely safe to use.
Versatile and effective: Balance training, back and strength training in one
With balance training, you also train the muscles which are responsible for the flexibility and stability of the joints. The core and back muscles are also strengthened. This means that back pain can be prevented before it occurs. And this is very important for well-being. With the awarding of the Seal of Approval by “Aktion Gesunder Rücken” (an organisation promoting healthy posture for a healthy back), an independent jury of doctors and scientists confirms the back-friendly and health-promoting effect of the TOGU Jumper.
