1 Type of exercise and application

For beginners and children: it is important to focus on safety and ease of use. Gymnastic trestles with no headroom and gymnastic horses with a lower height and a soft, cushioned surface are ideal for learning basic movements, jumping and leaping. The surface of the boxes is covered with a material that provides a good grip, so the risk of slipping is significantly reduced. It is also important that the equipment has rounded edges, which minimizes the risk of injury during a fall.
For intermediate: intermediate-level gymnasts can benefit from more versatile models that offer height adjustability and equipment with benches that allow them to perform more complex exercises such as pull-ups and body lifts, developing strength and coordination. High-quality equipment is durable and stable, but also suitable for intensive use.
For advanced and professional athletes: for advanced gymnasts and professional athletes, the equipment should be able to meet the high demands of intense and complex training. Gymnastic horses with benches and gymnastic trestles with solid, stable construction are key. Natural leather as a covering provides excellent grip and comfort, which is important when performing complex maneuvers. In addition, the ability to precisely adjust the height allows you to customize the equipment to meet specific training and competition requirements.

2 Material and construction

- Trestles and horses are made of high-quality wood, such as beech, oak or maple, which ensures the strength and stability of the structure. The wood is protected by a special clear varnish and polyurethane or acrylic coatings, which not only protect it from wear, scratches, damage, but also facilitate maintenance. In addition, these coatings are resistant to moisture, which prevents deformation of the wood and prolongs its life.
- Coatings are made of synthetic or natural leather. Synthetic leather is durable, abrasion-resistant and easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for heavy use in schools and sports clubs. It also provides a good grip, which increases stability during dynamic exercises. Natural leather, on the other hand, offers high comfort due to its softness and flexibility.
- Some models are reinforced with solid metal components. Steel legs and frames are treated with anti-corrosion coatings to prevent rusting. What's more, many models have height adjustment mechanisms to prevent accidental movement of the pieces during exercise.

3 Mobility and height adjustment

- Mobility is an important aspect that affects the flexibility of equipment, especially in large gyms, schools and sports clubs, where space must be reorganized frequently. Gymnastic boxes, horses and trestles equipped with casters or carts make it easy to move equipment. The swivel casters are sturdy and have locking mechanisms to prevent uncontrolled movement. Such a solution allows the equipment to be moved quickly and safely without much physical force.
- A key factor in the functionality of the equipment is the adjustment, allowing it to adapt to the height and skills of users and the specifics of the exercises performed. Height adjustment allows the equipment to adapt to different users and types of exercises. Height-adjustable gymnastic horses and trestles can be used by children, adolescents and adults at different levels. The height adjustment mechanisms are easy to use, yet sturdy and secure to prevent accidental movement of the items during exercise. The height can be adjusted with screws, levers or telescopic legs, allowing you to fine-tune the height to suit your individual needs.
- By adjusting the height, one piece of equipment can be used for a variety of exercises, from simple jumps to advanced acrobatics. The mobility of the equipment makes it possible to quickly adapt the training space to different activities, which is especially important in heavily used areas such as schools and sports clubs. The adjustable height also allows for a continuous progression of exercises with ongoing modifications, which translates into long-term, effective gymnastics training, where gradually increasing difficulty over time maximizes training results.
