Did you know that playing bowls can significantly boost your physical and mental well-being? Despite being stereotyped as a leisurely activity for the older generation, bowls actually provides an array of health benefits. At Playrite, we have installed over 70% of all-weather resistant bowling greens worldwide, ensuring players can enjoy these benefits year-round.
Physical BenefitsÂ
Playing bowls is not only a fun and enjoyable activity, but it also offers a multitude of health benefits. One of the key advantages of playing bowls is its ability to improve coordination and balance. The sport requires a high level of hand-eye coordination as players aim to roll their bowls as close as possible to the target ball, known as the jack. In addition, players often have to kneel down to deliver their bowls accurately, which helps to improve balance and stability.
Furthermore, playing bowls can also help individuals maintain a healthy weight. The physical activity involved in playing bowls, such as walking back and forth between ends and bending down to deliver bowls, can help burn calories and contribute to weight management. This is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to stay active and lead a healthy lifestyle. Overall, playing bowls is a fantastic way to not only have fun and socialise with others, but also to improve coordination, balance, and maintain a healthy weight. The accessibility of artificial grass for year-round play further enhances the benefits of this enjoyable sport.
Mental Benefits
Playing bowls can have a positive impact on mental health by lowering stress levels and anxiety, promoting relaxation, and improving cognitive abilities. The game requires concentration, mindfulness, and strategic thinking, which can stimulate the brain and delay cognitive decline. Being both indoors and outdoors, engaging in friendly competition can also improve overall happiness and social skills. Joining clubs and teams can create a sense of community and belonging, further benefiting mental wellbeing.
Benefits of an artificial bowling surface
Artificial bowling surfaces provide a consistent playing field, which enhances the quality of play. The predictable ball behavior and lane conditions enable players to improve their skills more effectively. These surfaces are designed for optimal traction and shock absorption, reducing the risk of common bowling injuries and making the game safer for players of all ages and skill levels.
Unlike natural surfaces, artificial bowling greens are unaffected by weather conditions, allowing for year-round play. This ensures regular physical activity, supporting the associated health benefits. Additionally, artificial surfaces require less maintenance, keeping lanes in top condition with minimal effort. This means more time for playing and enjoying the sport.
The durability of artificial surfaces allows them to withstand heavy use without deteriorating quickly, ensuring a high-quality playing surface for a longer period. This supports sustained physical activity and its benefits.
At Playrite, we offer weather-resistant bowling greens designed for year-round use, promoting a healthy lifestyle and enhancing your physical and mental well-being. Embrace the benefits of playing bowls on an artificial surface and enjoy a healthier, happier life!
