To stimulate the proprioceptivity for the superior limbs we thought of exercises using soccer balls of same shape, same colour, but of different weight (Soccer System):

Goalkeeper Training
At the superior limbs level, the balls of different weight not recognised by goal keeper in form and colour obliges him to adjust not only the force that derives, let’s say, from the impact of the ball to the hands, but also adjust the time factor (timing), in the sense that a light ball arrives much sooner than a heavier one, therefore, the goal keeper has to adapt also in terms of right timing, the proper action, and try to arrive at the ball in the right way and time. So, we searched for the exercise to take advantage of wall workout just for this reason, that is, the objective is for the goal keeper to learn how to adjust his timing to that of the ball which changes action constantly because the weight changes.
At the operative proposal level, it is important to the goal keeper not to recognise the ball arriving towards him and often the fact of observing the position of the ball helps to recognise a light ball or a heavy one, this is why the idea of wall work avoids the goal keeper seeing the departure of the arriving ball and also in the matter of proprioceptivity . We try to work by proposing the ball stimulus in this sense, let’s say, as in kicking or throwing the ball 3 times after which, the ball is changed. So, the first operative proposal that we do is the wall work, to speed the action of the superior limbs and catching the ball, as well as the ball adjustment of the catching movement and the speed.
The soccer balls we use, as stated earlier, are obviously the same shape and colour but of different weights that is, we utilise ball of 200-300-400-600-800 and 1000 gr. See the Soccer System Kit.

The double S of good posture
The structure of our vertebral column, by interacting with the musculature, is responsible for the erect position, the support of the body weight (head, pectoral belt and chest) and the movements of the trunk. In the correct position it can be seen as a double “S”. The centre of gravity of the single parts of the body (pelvis, chest and head) are placed on a vertical line that represents the best line for the distribution of the weight on the tissues.

The movement that feeds the tissues
Every single cell in our body needs the fundamental substances for nutrition and growth. Only 10% of our organism is, however, directly linked to the blood circulation.The remaining tissues receive the necessary nutritional substances from the surrounding areas. Movement and changes of position are translated, depending on the different pressures generated, into a sort of “pump effect” which is fundamental for the transportation of the nutritional substances.

Conclusions:
An incorrect posture which gives rise to a lack of balance in the distribution of body weight ends up by damaging the tissues - good posture and therefore a balanced distribution of the weight permit the preservation of the tissues. Movement and the resulting variable distribution of weight supply the tissues with the necessary nutritional substances, maintaining them elastic, resistant and keeping the muscles fit.

A great number of the health problems that afflict us, among which back-ache, are the result of our “modern” style of life. We sit down for too long on school benches, at work and even during our free time. This lack of movement leads to the loss of the natural training of our musculature in the end becoming a very serious factor of risk for our health. Reinforcing the muscles of the back and adequately sufficient motor activity not only prevent possible back-aches but at the same time the wellbeing of the body and the mind is also stimulated. There is a whole series of difficult and tiring methods that wasteful not only because of the time needed but also for the money spent, and then usually only have some sense and efficacy when applied under the guidance of an expert.
Nevertheless, not all revel in practising this kind of physical exercise. The Original PEZZI gym ball instead, offers the opportunity of keeping your back fit, without effort or sweat, when you are free from normal working activity and during spare time. Just sit on the Original PEZZI gym ball every now and then, and consider it a sort of movable chair that stimulates the muscles of the back to preserve a certain amount of support and balance. In this way you no longer just sit statically, but dynamically. It is a simple method for training the back, efficacious and tested - it can even be used as a simple pastime.

Rest the abdomen on the Sit Bike Ball, hands on the floor. Move your hands forward until your knees rest on the Sit Bike Ball. Bend your legs to reach a kneeling position on the Sit Bike Ball, move your body weight slightly forward until your arms are perpendicular to the floor; without moving your hands move your body weight back.

Abdominals, rachis extensors, glutei, thigh flexors - Basic exercises

Starting from a kneeling position, rest the abdomen on the Sit Bike Ball and push yourself forward with your feet until your legs are outstretched. Slip forward and bring your hands to the floor beyond the Sit Bike Ball.
Return to the starting position.

• As above slip forward extending your legs and keeping them raised while your hands rest on the floor. Return by pushing back with your hands.
