OUTDOOR SLACKLINE – A COOL ADDITION TO EXERCISE COURSES
Trend sport, fun sport and training for improving sense of balance: balancing on the slackline, also known as slacklining, has long been a familiar sight at outdoor-gyms.
SLACKLINE POSTS – AREAS OF APPLICATION
The slackline is a must-have feature of fun sport exercise courses for encouraging coordination and balance.
As a trend sport, this type of training equipment attracts both younger and older enthusiasts.
For whom is the playfit® Slackline suitable?
Slackline equipment caters for a wide range of users and allows for completely different levels of difficulty depending on the width and material of the lines installed. Beginners can try to cover the distance between the posts assisted by others while the “experts” can turn and jump along the narrow slackline. Thanks to its flexibility, one can also do stretching-exercises along the slackline itself.
TRAINING EFFECT & TRAINING GOALS
Regular balancing on the slackline improves sense of balance, promotes mobility/motor skills as well as coordination and concentration.
Slacklining also trains core muscles – resulting in better posture.
ADVANTAGES OF THE playfit® SLACKLINE SYSTEM
- Slacklines can be fixed to the bollards at three different levels – a great help for beginners for trying out this type of exercise.
- The robust stainless-steel construction is durable and sturdy.
- Few other pieces of kit can promote body tension and body control so precisely – and be great fun at the same time.
INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
Instructions for use
- Stretch the slackline to the desired height between the bollards.
- First find your balance on the slackline and then start moving forward, balancing along it. When you reach the end, turn around and repeat in the other direction. To move forward successfully you need to find the right balance between body tension and looseness.
Tips
- Choose the duration of the training as desired. Recommendation: balance yourself along the slackline 2-4 times.
- Increase the difficulty by covering the distance between the posts backwards, sideways or with your eyes closed. Performing a half or full turn halfway between the posts is also a sporting challenge.
Slackline variants
Linearity determines our lives and it’s nice when everything follows an orderly path. But sometimes you want to break out of the familiar structures and discover new paths and possibilities. This can apply not only to life as a whole but also to the slackline!
That’s why playfit® can also provide freely variable combinations of slacklines with sets of more than two posts – which can therefore also allow small groups to do the exercise at the same time –so much more fun!
Possible slackline variations for slacklines with multiple posts:
Slackline – Triangle
Slackline – Quad
Slackline – Star
Slackline – Hive
Slackline – Hepta
Slackline – Okto
FAQs
The slackline posts are designed and certified for a maximum distance of 10 meters between the posts.
The stainless steel posts are very stable. The slackline bollards are designed and certified for a maximum user weight of 120 kg.
The maximum permissible tensile force of the slackline at the upper fixed point of the slackline bollard is F = 8333N (approx. 850 kg).
It is essential that you check the load-bearing capacity of the slackline you have brought with you before training.
Footwear should be sturdy. Alternatively, you can also balance barefoot on the slackline. This allows you to control the load on different areas of the foot more precisely and maintain your balance better.
