Baza municipality in Granada launches a new Outdoor Gym area of ​​Agapito Industries

“Punto de Vida” is a meeting place where elderly people or people with reduced mobility in Baza, a municipality in Granada, can do physical exercise outdoors safely and surrounded by nature. A complete circuit of devices aimed at elderly people that will help them practice daily exercises in order not to lose mobility and promote agility, both physical and mental.

The senior playground at” La Alameda Park” is made up of an extensive range of sports equipment designed to work all parts of the body. All installed products are endorsed by a rehabilitation doctor and physiotherapist.

A series of Stations have been enabled with different uses. The shoulder wheel Station is a classic among outdoor gym equipment for seniors as it easily exercises shoulder movement. With the same purpose, another similar screen was incorporated, but aimed at people in wheelchairs: the inclusive shoulder wheel Station allowing all of their movement possibilities to be worked on at the same time. The labyrinths Station is ideal for exercising the body and mind simultaneously. Also thinking about people with reduced mobility, an adapted rotating roller station was incorporated in order to maintain or improve the movements of ulnar and radial deviation and the flexion and extension of the wrists.

To exercise the circular movement of both shoulders and promote synchronization of movements, it was decided to incorporate the double arm wheel, a product adapted for use with a wheelchair.

For psychomotor movement, a recycled chair with a psychomotor labyrinth was incorporated. It is an ideal device to exercise the rotation movement of the ankle thanks to its rotary movement, while at the same time various cognitive functions of orientation and gnosia are stimulated. The labyrinth is made of high-density polyethylene with non-slip rubber for greater user comfort.

A product aimed at moving and exercising the legs especially is the walkway with ramp and stairs perfect for activating the body and moving the lower joints in total safety as it has robust railings so that the elderly can lean on.

Specially for Alzheimer’s, a double bench with double mentalcube was supplied. Also exercise your mind through the two rotating posts with panels that contain exercises indicated in cases of Alzheimer’s and senile dementia. It helps stimulate the following cognitive functions: praxias (voluntary control of intentional movements), memory, orientation, gnosias (recognition of shapes, sounds, times…), calculation and language.

The Step and waist twist, within our portfolio of street gym products, is one of the most popular innovations among a wider audience. It is a cardiovascular exercise that exercises the lower body and improves the flexibility of the oblique muscles of the spine. The calves exercise machine (h) is also considered a cardiovascular device that, in this case, exercises the lower body and can also be used by younger people.

These are some of the products in “Punto de Vida”, there is no excuse to play sports in Baza. Parque de la Alamena has become the ideal place to exercise thanks to the installation of the Agapito Industries bio-healthy circuit that allows a large group of people to stay in shape, also including those with reduced mobility.
