How to choose a stuffed ball?

Stuffed balls are available in several different types. 3 main things you are exposed to slamballs /percussion balls, medical balls and wall balls. Slam and wall balls have become popular after the rise of functional group training classes, while medical balls are a classic type of training equipment that can be used in almost any workout.

But what is the difference between them? Maybe you bounce a medicine ball if you have to lift it instead? Or do you lift a wall ball when you actually have to throw it? If you are left thinking, "What ball do I use for each exercise?", Stop guessing, because below you will find all the knowledge you need to feel more confident using different balls.

Why does it matter what kind of exercise ball I use?

The answer lies in the exercises you want to do. Different types of exercise ball are designed for use in certain conditions. And that makes each type of ball unsuitable for another type of exercise. Improper use of the exercise ball can easily damage, break or leak. Each type of ball has different characteristics that make it more suitable for specific types of exercises and activities, and we should take advantage of them.

What are the differences slambetween a ball / percussion ball, a wall ball and a medical ball?

Medical balls are filled with air and have a strong, thick rubber shell that gives the ball weight. The look and feel is similar to basketball, but the similarities end there. The ball is much heavier and gives a small collision. They are smaller than a wall ball, allowing you to get a better grip. The medical ball is ideal for throwing long-distance throws or quick reps with a training partner by bouncing it against a wall. However, the medical ball is not meant to be bounced (slam'ide for). Floorball with a medical ball (English slam) running can be dangerous due to a bounce, and you will soon break the medical ball if you make high-power repetitive bounces. The outer rubber shell is not designed to absorb shock, in which case a cue ball should be used. In addition, you may get a strong kick back against the ball

Wall balls - as the name implies, these balls are used to do exercises that use walls in some way. Wall balls are designed to absorb shocks and are usually larger than slam and medical balls. They can be up to the size of a beach ball and weigh 4 kg to 15 kg. They are much softer and have a slight bounce. They are usually made of vinyl with an outer padded layer that makes them easy to see and safe to throw and catch during exercise.

The wall ball is great for developing explosive power by making a few quick and powerful throws. The large diameter of the wall ball provides greater air resistance, so although the wall ball may be light, more effort is required to throw it faster and stronger. The wall ball is great for taking side throws, throwing over the head, bouncing throws or improving coordination. Like a medical ball, a wall ball is not intended for ground shots. A wall ball can be dangerous due to a collision and it can crack due to the short distance of the shot. Always use a cue ball (slamball)
