The Casall balance board is a wobble type balance board, that is, it allows 360 ° movement. It consists of a circular plastic tray on which is attached a flexible hemisphere for increased stability.

Particularly suitable for beginners, this board allows you to improve balance, proprioception and strengthening of stabilizing muscles. Its plastic design makes it light and therefore easily transportable.

Today there are a large number of balance boards sold on the market, each with their own characteristics. Although it was originally developed to help train skiers, snowboarders, and snowboarders, the balance board quickly became popular in other sports and especially in the fitness world.

Balance boards are nowadays used by the best athletes in the world to improve proprioception, balance and strengthening. So we are going to see what these balance boards are worth and more particularly the wobble board of Casall.

A little reminder
The Balances Boards have gradually become more democratic and have today become a very popular tool for improving training sessions, performing exercises that could previously be considered as mundane new and interesting, or to strengthen the hip, knees and ankles, prevent / prevent injuries and improve balance. Previously mainly used to train surfers, snowboarders and skateboarders, they are now used by everyone, from the high level athlete to the professional of physical therapy.

There are 3 main families of Balance Board each with their own characteristics and therefore have slightly different purposes.
Rocker boards are generally the best boards to start with since they only allow lateral movement of the rocking board type. The Rocker Board-Roller is themselves similar to the rocker board but adds an extra degree of difficulty by using a cylindrical roller which is usually independent of the board itself. And finally, the Wobble Board, widely used in the fields of physical therapy and athletic training, it relies on 360 degree movement.

Description

A Balance Board Wobble or balance board is a wooden (or plastic) board in the shape of a circle on which is fixed a half -sphere. This kind of board looks like the planet Saturn. It is the shape of this hemisphere and its small contact surface with the ground (point of support) that creates the instability of the whole and this 360 ° movement. A Balance Board can be used for strengthening, training or rehabilitation. It is also widely used to prevent ankle and knee injuries, for physical therapy, and to improve balance and strength. Wobble-type boards are generally inexpensive (although there are high-end models available), variable in circumference and lightweight, allowing them to be easily stored when not in use. The Casall board is an entry-level board and can be found online for around € 25.

Exercises that can be done with a Balance Board

This type of board is particularly useful for doing balance type exercises. It can also be combined with exercises such as squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and core exercises. All the exercises become much more difficult and effective when you use a balance board because in addition to working the muscles targeted by the exercises in question, an instability component is added.

To use this board (as standard), the user places both feet on the board and tries to stay stable. If he's more comfortable, he can tilt the board in any direction without allowing the edges to touch the ground. The idea is therefore to stand on the platform, to maintain balance and to prevent the edges of the platform from touching the ground. At first it can be difficult and even frustrating, but soon you will have fun while working out, strengthen your balance, improve strength in your ankles and legs, and improve your ability to balance. As we said above, you can also do a wide variety of exercises like squats, sit-ups, core strengths with the addition of a balance board to improve proprioception, balance and strengthen joints. br /> You can also, for more instability and to work on proprioception, perform the exercises with your eyes closed.

Balance trays and other balance boards are an ideal tool for all things rehabilitation. And even if the goal is not rehabilitation, planking for 10 minutes a day will improve balance and strengthen the stabilizing muscles of the ankles and knee, which can be a good prevention against sprains and other muscle injuries. / ligaments.

Efficiency

This Casall board is therefore a good material from an efficiency point of view. Good for strengthening, balance and rehabilitation. It allows you to carry out proprioception exercises daily and to work on your balance as you could with a physiotherapist. Simple efficient and refined, its use is smooth, the movement is fluid over 360 °. It works your muscles from the ankles to the buttocks. Ideal for strengthening the joints, especially those of the ankles.

The Casall board is designed to have a contact surface slightly above average which makes it easier to find the balance (especially on a carpet type surface) and therefore to control and steer the tilt rather than struggling to maintain some stability. It is not impossible, however, that some adaptation time will be necessary to find and maintain balance, but with a little discipline you will quickly see results. This stable and easy-to-use board is therefore intended for beginners.
For those looking for a more unstable and therefore more "difficult" board, it will be necessary to look at a board with a smaller hemisphere at the center (and therefore a lower contact surface).

Support

The support is rather adapted. We can hold it barefoot or in a sock without worry with the grip covering the tray. It doesn't slip. It is best to use this board on a non-smooth surface or with the supplied mat, as indicated in the instructions. Avoid using it on tiled floors. Plastic could slip off this one (great for falling off and breaking something).

Strength / robustness

It is a device that at first glance appears robust and well finished. We have only tested it over a period of 2 months, so it is impossible for us to give a definitive opinion on this product. We have nevertheless noticed that negative comments concerning the solidity of the product appear on the canvas (the base cracks with fairly intensive use). We therefore invite you to take a look at these notices before making a decision. Finally, although there is no mention of a maximum user weight, we do not recommend this board if you weigh more than 80 kg. The design and plastic used in abundance on this tray seem to have their limits.

Others

The advantage of the plastic used is that this Casall board is very light. Its weight and relative compactness allow it to be stored without worries once training is over.

CONCLUSION

It is effective, versatile (possibility of performing different exercises) and light.Beware however of the limits of this product.
