Health benefits of an outdoor climbing frame for the garden
At a time when exercise is often neglected in everyday life, an outdoor climbing frame in your own garden offers an ideal way to encourage physical activity in a playful and effective way. Regular exercise (in the fresh air!) is especially essential for children's motor development, muscle building, bone health, and even mental performance. But it's not just the youngest who benefit – adults can also improve strength, coordination, and endurance through targeted bodyweight exercises. A versatile climbing frame like the Family Cube becomes a health booster for the whole family – right on your doorstep.
Studies show: Why gymnastics and strength training are so important for children
Numerous studies confirm that controlled strength training and gymnastics bring enormous benefits for children:
-
Muscle building & bone density : A meta-analysis shows that children can increase their muscle strength by 10–40% through age-appropriate strength training ( source ).
-
Low risk of injury : Injuries do not occur more frequently than in other sports – if training is well supervised ( source ).
-
Promoting stability and coordination in 8-year-old children through targeted movement training ( study ).
Cognitive benefits – exercise makes the brain fit
-
An 8-week exercise program improves spatial memory and cognitive flexibility ( study ).
-
Exercise stimulates the release of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) – a key factor for concentration and learning ( Neurobiology of Exercise ).
