What weight should I choose for the bouncing medicine ball?

For exercises focusing on power, speed and explosiveness, relatively light weights are recommended so as not to restrict acceleration. The Sidea bouncing medicine balls are available from 2 kg (Ø 190 mm) to 8 kg (Ø 240 mm). Lighter weights (2–4 kg) promote speed in throws, whilst heavier weights (6–8 kg) increase resistance whilst maintaining a smooth bounce for power and endurance exercises.

What is the difference between a bouncing medicine ball and a smash ball?

The Sidea rubber bouncing medicine balls are not suitable for floor smash exercises. Their fast, consistent bounce makes them ideal for throws, power and speed exercises where the ball is caught in the athlete’s hands. For vertical smash exercises, however, the Smash D-Balls (item nos. 0470–0477) are required; these are designed not to bounce and to absorb the impact.

What types of training are these medicine balls suitable for?

The Sidea bouncing medicine balls are ideal for toning, holistic fitness classes, rehabilitation, functional training circuits and, above all, athletic training. Thanks to their compact size and consistent bounce, they enable you to effectively perform exercises for power, speed, agility and endurance. The weight is determined by the amount of rubber; there are no internal moving weights.

What are the dimensions of Sidea medicine balls?

The dimensions vary according to weight: the 2 kg ball has a diameter of 190 mm, the 4 kg ball has a diameter of 220 mm, the 6 kg ball has a diameter of 230 mm, and the 8 kg ball has a diameter of 240 mm. Their compact size makes them easy to grip and control during throws and dynamic exercises, making these medicine balls particularly suitable for speed and coordination work in athletic training.

How are these medicine balls made?

The Sidea bouncing medicine balls are made from solid rubber, with no internal moving weights. The weight of the ball is determined by the varying amount of rubber used in each model. They are not excessively hard, which makes them suitable for throwing without causing uncontrolled bounces, and allows them to return quickly and smoothly to the athlete’s hands during exercises.

Can bouncing medicine balls be used in the gym?

Yes, the Sidea bouncing medicine balls are suitable for professional gyms, CrossFit boxes, athletic training centres and holistic fitness classes. Thanks to their controlled bounce, they are ideal for functional training circuits and group workouts. They are not recommended for vertical smash exercises: for that specific use, the Smash D-Balls are required.

Are there medical balls with different features?

Yes, Sidea also offers medicine balls with handles (item nos. 0495–0498) for exercises requiring an easier grip and rotational movements, and Giant Med Balls (item nos. 0500–0505) made of leather with larger diameters for strength and stability training. Bouncing medicine balls remain the best choice for throwing exercises and dynamic power training.

How should rubber medicine balls be stored?

Sidea rubber medicine balls do not require any special maintenance. They should be stored at room temperature, away from direct heat sources and prolonged exposure to UV rays. After use, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth. The rubber material retains its bounce over time provided it is not subjected to violent impacts against sharp or abrasive surfaces.
