The history of sport dates back to the early days of civilization. Previously considered the necessity for the survival of people in fairly good condition, regardless of whether they were hunters, gatherers and farmers. If they live in large groups and specialize in, has changed his workload each day and for many it becomes necessary to start a movement. Fitness Training began with the ancient Greeks, when Hippocrates wrote "developed, which will be used and that the non-used wastes away."In other words, use it or lose it.
Games and war - Physical education was caused by two types of competition between groups of people introduced. Conflicts and military sports competition between city-states created the need for gyms, aerobics, strength training and sports equipment.
Consisted mainly of early exercise equipment weights and equipment for gymnastics. Stones has sand bags, jugs, ridges and bars until the initial components of thePower devices. First instruments were forerunners of modern gymnastics equipment, consisting of bars with swings, ropes and rings. A variety of balls were solid for the coordination and strength training mission. Race and gymnastics were often used to develop coordination and strength. Power and speed was up and down hills and mountains developed.
Much later, the greek doctor Galen, described strength training first with a dumbbell-shaped. But the storyTraining device is not really until the end of the 19 st Century begins with the appearance of the handlebar. Early rockers were filled with hollow spheres with water or sand. Around the same time were included in the modern training equipment gymnastics in Germany with Friedrich Jahn, the equipment, the wooden horse, parallel beam.
Serious sports equipment appeared late on 18 and 19 Century. The first stationary motion in the 18 CenturyCentury and is a great machine, both the arms and legs work. The rower's first appearance in the middle of the 19 th Century, and it seemed that the central part of a boat.
Later in the 20 th century came the first car to improve your fitness. Many of the machines have been adapted from previous applications. The treadmill, for example, was invented by industrial applications in mind, a time when steam engines were not practical, and electric motorswidespread. Weight later and other systems of pulleys are suitable for use in sports arenas, like sports equipment and functions to ensure the safety of strength training.

The mini-stairstepper is a device that offers all the advantages of the treadmill up in a small portable device that can be easily moved and stored for disposal.
After the Bowflex and the mini-stairstepper wonders what is new in the history of sports equipment to be added? Without doubt, there is a team of all inventors are working to show us around and take their place in history.
