FITNESS EQUIPMENT

We R Kids Gyms keeps abreast of the latest trends and developments in the fitness industry. The designer of the equipment emphasizes that the machines have been designed to favour interaction with children. Machines become playmates with flashing lights, bright colours and special names.

The designer of the equipment Panatta Sport (Italy) have this to say about the Kid’s System:

KIDS SYSTEM

The equipment and machines specially designed for children. The machines have been specially designed to favour interaction with the child. The names pf imaginary characters given to the machines, their appealing appearance and bright colours envoke the reassuring figures of large puppets in the child’s mind and the child sees them as new playmates. The harmonious design and rounded forms of the machine enable them to be used by young children in complete safety. The movements carried out are the same as those which occur most frequently in the daily lives of very young children.
The collaboration of important research institutes (Rizolli Institute of Orthopaedics, Institute of Sports Medicine and the Faculty of Motion Science of the University of Bologne) has made it possible to devise a series of biomechanical solutions so that:

• The child maintains the correct posture throughout each movement.
• Joints and tendons are not subjected to any strain in excess of normal joint excursion.
• The child’s neuromotor capacity and ability to coordinate is improved by memorizing the correct execution of the movement itself while carrying out the exercises.

The loads used while performing the movements do not put any strain on the child’s spine, muscles or tendons; more generally speaking, during the exercises carried out on the “Kids Machines” the involvement of the motor apparatus is very complex along dynamic muscle chains and always well below maximum exertion.

The Kids Machines circuit is equipped with a manual tool that facilitates the rapid removal of each machine. The floor can be freed of all equipment in just a few minutes to be used for other types of games.
