The Science Behind Si Boards

Si Boards Are Based On Multi-Direction Movement Riding On Top Of A Solid And Responsive Ball. The Full Muscle Contraction, Complete Body Awareness, Joint Stability, And Ability To React To Outside Forces Creates A Very Efficient Training Effect. Using The Half-Balls Is Equally Effective, Allowing You To Target Strength Deficiencies And Perform Complex Training Moves Without The Board Rolling (This Makes The Half-Ball A Good Option For Progressive Beginner’S Training, As Well). Athletes Can Add The Resistance Bands To Increase The Effect Of Gravity, As The Downward Pull Of The Bands Requires The User To Respond With Greater Posture Awareness And Stability.

This Is The Perfect Balance Training System For Getting All Of Your Systems To Engage Before A Training Session. You Can Also Work It Into Your Circuit. From Rehab Work To High-Level, Fully Functional Training, Si Boards Allow You To Set Your Own Pace, Experiment With Ride Stances, And Develop Both Upper And Lower Body Strength With Improved Balance And Fluidity Of Movement.
