Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a winter sport in which participants descend mountain slopes on a snowboard, a single wide board. The sport includes different styles such as freeride in natural terrain, freestyle with tricks in snow parks and alpine snowboarding on groomed slopes. Snowboarding requires balance, coordination and physical strength and has become a popular and recognised winter sport since its development in the 1960s and 70s, including participation in the Winter Olympics.
How Calopad helps with snowboarding
Calopad is ideal for snowboarders to relieve muscle tension and pain caused by the intense physical engagement of skiing, jumping and manoeuvring on a snowboard. Calopad's deep heat penetrates into the stressed muscle areas and provides fast and effective pain relief. Rapid recovery after snowboarding is crucial to maintain snowboarders' performance and physical health. Calopad supports muscle recovery by promoting blood circulation, which shortens recovery time and improves overall performance.
Adequate strength training is important for snowboarders in order to optimally prepare the body for the stresses and strains of the sport and to prevent injuries and complaints. By specifically training the core, leg, arm and shoulder muscles, snowboarders can reduce the risk of overstraining and injuries. The Calopad Care Abo therefore combines passive heat treatments with active therapies from sports physiotherapists to ensure comprehensive treatment and optimum support for snowboarders.
