When children are playing with overhead playground equipment, using their hands to grab and grasp overhead bars to propel themselves forward or back, this is a form of play know as brachiation. This type of play improves upper body strength and skills, promotes better hand/eye coordination, increases flexibility of the back, shoulders and arms, and enhances depth perception.

Who needs the S Horizontal Ladder Playground Equipment:
Due to spending more time inside playing on the computer or iphone, many American children are lacking upper body strength. A study done in 2015 has shown that 60% of girls and 30% of boys cannot do one single pull-up. This is why it is so important to have a horizontal ladder on a playground. Kids in the 5-12 age range will play on it, have fun, and not even realize that they are exercising and increasing their upper body strength and hand-eye coordination.
