Medicine balls are usually sold as 8 lb., 10 lb. or 12 lb. balls and are used effectively in Plyometric Weight Training to increase explosive power in athletes such as Boxers , Baseball pitchers and Basketball players. They are used by boxing professionals to improve the strength of stomach muscles, by a coach or trainer dropping the ball from a certain height onto the stomach of the boxer, simulating a punch coming from an opponent. They are also extensively used by secondary schools as a fitness aid, by lifting the ball, or performing different exercises (such as sit ups and leg raises) with the ball incorporated to increase the strain on a particular muscle. A medicine ball is also commonly used by athletes who have sustained an injury, and seek rehibilitation. EXTERNAL LINKS The Web's #1 Medicine Ball Site |
