Play, workout and friends

An informal gathering place with many uses.

Motor skill parks in secondary school

Teenagers have a great need for physical activity, and most have participated in organized sports throughout their life.

But it is precisely in the teenage years many unfortunately drop out as the company of friends becomes more important. In the motor skill park, however, boys and girls can get together in physical activities more characterized by the joy of movement than by competition and achievement.

Everyone will be able to experience that they are constantly mastering new movements. For those who are active in sports and athletics, a more targeted balance training will improve their performance and also contribute to the prevention of, among other things, knee and ankle injuries.

The motor skill park concept means putting together two or more pieces of activity equipment to provide a number of possible combinations of movement. Jumping between the devices is an extra challenge for both flexibility, motor skills and balance. It provides further obstacles when the user already master one individual balancing device.
