TECA has unveiled Gimboy®: a new and exclusive circuit of isotonic machines specifically studied for preadolescents and adolescents (age 8-14). The system consists of eight isotonic machines providing a standing workout and simulating the natural push and pull movements of everyday life, play and sport.

When Gymboy® is used as a means of preparing physically for a particular sport, the exercises can be adapted to develop the specific skills needed for the sport in question, depending on the importance of strength, muscle or cardio respiratory resistance.
Funny and attractive, Gymboy® helps young people to grow up healthy and strong through simple exercises that most importantly are also very safe and very effective.

 

Gymboy® for a general, overall workout.

Up to age 12, preadolescents need to be physically fit in general, both aerobically and in terms of resistance, and any specialist sports training would not be recommended. Any form of training, which should always be presented as a form of play, should focus especially on developing coordination skills (balance, combination of movements, orientation in space, control and adaptation, rhythm, fine dexterity, and so forth), as well as conditional abilities (strength, speed and resistance).(read more)
