Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a soft plastic material oval ball for gymnastics exercises and physiotherapy use, as well as for sitting use.
  • Some of these implements comprise, for example, one or more small ball-like elements, of a deformable pneumatic type, which allow the user's muscles to be properly extended so as to properly exercise the joints and release the stress.
  • deformable pneumatic elements also of ball configuration, having a comparatively large size, which allow the user to perform several gymnastics exercises; however, also these implements, because of their truly spherical shape have a rather poor stability.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing an improved implement which allows an user to perform in a very easy way a lot of gymnastics exercises and which, moreover, can also be used for physiotherapy uses in general.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such an exercising implement which is very stable and specifically designed for providing the user with a safe support during the gymnastics exercises.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such an implement which can be easily inflated and deflated so as to fit its resiliency to the specific exercises to be performed by the user.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such an implement which can also be used as a seat having curative properties and, in particular, adapted to allow the user to suitably align his/her backbone.
  • the oval configuration ball implement 1 has a substantially elongated shape, which provides the implement with a good stability, said ball implement having preferably a major diameter 2 which can vary from 50 to 180 cm and a minor diameter 3 which can vary preferably from 30 to 120 cm.
  • the oval ball implement 1 more specifically, comprises a soft plastic material layer 4, preferably made of a resilient vinyl material, having any suitable thickness, and which can be gradually inflated and deflated in order to provide it with the desired resiliency characteristics.
  • a soft plastic material layer 4 preferably made of a resilient vinyl material, having any suitable thickness, and which can be gradually inflated and deflated in order to provide it with the desired resiliency characteristics.
  • the subject oval ball implement can be also made starting from any other suitable materials, and it can also be constructed with diameters different from those which have been specifically above mentioned.
