Are gym balls (Swiss balls) effective for strengthening core stability and improving postural balance?
Gym balls are one of the most effective tools for core work and stability. The instability created by the ball forces the deep stabilizing muscles (transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, shoulder muscles) to work continuously. EMG studies (Vera-Garcia et al.) show that abdominal exercises on a ball activate the deep trunk muscles more than the same exercises on a stable surface. Applications: dynamic core work (plank on ball, roll-outs); shoulder strengthening (push-ups on ball); wall ball squats (protected knee); lower-back rehabilitation exercises. For the office: sitting on a Swiss ball 2-3h/day reduces chronic lower-back pain (passive activation of postural muscles). Size 65cm = people 165-185cm, 75cm = 185-195cm.
