WALL BARS IN SPORTS HALLS AND PRIVATE HOMES - HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE?
2021-02-07
Very often regular visits to the gym, fitness classes or physiotherapist involve at least 2-3 hours a day, which is not always easy to reconcile with work or children's activities at school. Therefore, if only there is such a possibility, it is worth organizing a corner at home, where we can perform basic exercises to strengthen muscles and affect the coordination of the body. People who exercise regularly at the gym, but avoid wall bars should also try their hand at this inconspicuous piece of equipment.
HOW DOES A WALL BAR AFFECT OUR BODY?
From an early age, children do exercises on wall bars - whether in kindergarten, with a physiotherapist or in gymnastics classes in elementary school. So for the little ones this equipment is nothing unusual, it often brings a lot of fun and at the same time has a great impact on the correct posture of the body or the functioning of the nervous and muscular system.
The wall bar is dedicated not only for children but also for adolescents and adults! The choice of exercises is almost unlimited, and maintaining regularity we can strengthen many parts of our body such as abdomen, arms, legs, back or buttocks. What is important, exercises on a gymnastic ladder have a positive influence on spinal defects, that is why they are so often used during rehabilitation at physiotherapists.
SELECTING THE SIZE OF THE WALL BAR
Wondering what size gymnastic ladder to choose depends a lot on how much space we have available at home or at the place of exercising. Of course, in a sports hall or gymnasium we usually have the whole wall at our disposal, so there will be no problem with filling it. However, there remains the issue of choosing the width of a single wall bar piece. For example, for a kindergarten or a children's room there are wall bars with a width of 75 cm.

However, in schools, sports halls or physiotherapists' offices, the most frequently installed are WALL BARS with a slightly greater width - 90 cm.
If we want the entire wall to be filled with wall bars, it is worth choosing a wall bar consisting of 4 or 5 elements.

WALL BAR FOR HOME OR APARTMENT
While dealing with the equipment of a sports hall or gymnasium we have no problem with space, but in a private home not everyone can afford a whole wall of wall bars. Especially when we live in an apartment! Does this mean that we should give up the installation of the wall bar? By no means!
It's even worth finding a piece of wall at home, where we can freely perform various types of exercises, straighten our legs or arms. For one person, even a single 90 cm wide wall bar will allow to perform many different exercises strengthening the whole body.
For those who have the whole room at their disposal, we recommend choosing a wall bar consisting of 3 elements or more. This solution will be especially appreciated by advanced people, performing various figures and exercises. A wider wall bar will also allow you to exercise a little more than alone.
INSTALLATION OF THE WALL BAR
The wall bar should be securely fastened to the wall in a way that prevents the pieces from coming loose. So when choosing a wall bar, pay attention to the supplied fittings and mounting screws. When exercising, the wall bar must be able to withstand the weight of the body and the loads caused by the exercise, so the quality and length of the mounting bolts is important. Proper, stable installation of a wall bar will allow you to perform a whole range of exercises in a safe manner.
