Today we move much less than in the past, and with less intensity, which unfortunately, has resulted in all kinds of health problems, from obesity, to diabetes, to heart disease, to depression. That is why, nowadays, our society increasingly values the adoption of healthy habits for a better quality of life. The scientific world agrees that it is essential to re-integrate daily movement into our lives, regardless of age, ability or personal situation. We should all move every day, to increase our physical and mental health and wellbeing. However, at Galopín we are aware that many people have limited access to sport, for example, due to financial issues or long distances to sports facilities, and that is why we want to provide healthy and accessible public spaces for everyone.

Our Sport and Health range is designed to encourage the practice of physical exercise, irrespective of age or different levels of fitness. At the most demanding level, the Calisthenics variant aims to develop agility, strength and flexibility with a workout based on the movement of one’s own body weight on horizontal bars or abdominal benches, among other elements. On the other hand, the Urban Health Clubs cover the basic needs for the maintenance of an adult’s body. They have elements focused on the joints for the elderly, and propose simple and gentle exercises that, when carried out regularly, improve vital tone. On the other hand, there are also Senior elements, designed to promote moderate aerobic exercise, in order to promote well-being in a healthy way. We also have elements suitable for designing bicycle circuits, with ramps, zigzagging elements, obstacles… a bet that complements the exercise of those who go out for walks or mountain trails. And of course, multisport courts for team games such as football or basketball. Because sport, like play, is not just exercise, but interaction with others. That is why our Sport and Health elements are designed to be combined with the different ranges of children’s games, to design sets that facilitate family leisure and intergenerational coexistence.

Types of elements

As already presented above, the Sport and Health range has different elements adapted to different age groups and which combine aesthetically with our playground ranges:

– Calisthenics. Elements that facilitate the performance of physical exercises with one’s own body weight, with the aim of acquiring skills such as strength, endurance, agility, balance, coordination and flexibility through physical exercise.

All of them certified according to EN16630.
