AOK Swiss Balls have been designed to meet the following criteria:

Safety - the anti-burst feature reduces injury risk associated with exploding balls
Strong resistance to stretching and general wear & tear
Resist deformation under load
Suitable for sitting, rehabilitation, exercising, stretching and weight training
Non-toxic

AOK Health has designed their Swiss Balls for the needs of the health and fitness industry. We have not modified toy balls to do something for which they were not designed. AOK balls are purpose designed and tested heavy weight balls which resist compression under load, particularly during exercise.

This provides 3 essential benefits:

While exercising it slows the reaction speed of the ball so that the proprioceptive/sensory pathways are stimulated through the entire range of motion
The ball retains its spherical form and small base of support, thus enhancing the body's stabilisation response

Promotes long life due to resistance to stretching and general wear & tear

NOTE: These sizes are not definitive but only a guide. Larger/bulkier individuals may need a larger size ball than shown purely for comfort and not biomechanics. Using the ball for weight lifting also is best with a larger ball than normal. There is only 10-20% loss of efficiency if using a larger ball size for exercise. You will rarely use a Swiss ball at its maximum inflated diameter. Best results are at 90-95% inflation.

Caution: All balls, like car tyres, wear out with heavy use - we have balls 5 years old and still performing well. If you use your ball in a commercial environment you may need to upgrade on a regular basis. Our Swiss balls are not indestructible and may be weakened or damaged by sharp objects which may result in the ball deflating. Do not use a Swiss ball that has been damaged. Always keep your activity area clear of sharp objects or corners and check your ball regularly.
