Parkour: Safe and secure workout

Parkour has become a visible and inspiring movement art, often seen on TV, the internet and in the urban environment. In this dynamic activity, participants move quickly through urban space, using benches, stairs, handrails and walls in incredibly creative and fascinating ways.

What is parkour?

Parkour is an exciting and challenging form of exercise that involves moving quickly and efficiently through an environment using jumping, climbing and acrobatic movements. It is a discipline that requires physical strength, agility and mental focus. The athletes, known as traceurs, constantly seek to improve their ability to navigate through urban environments by overcoming obstacles such as walls, railings and concrete blocks with grace and precision.

Parkour workout with NOORD

At NOORD, we understand the needs of parkour training and offer products that are useful for creating safe and inspiring training areas. Our stable training equipment is designed to withstand the rigors of parkour training and provides trainees with a firm and reliable foundation for their training. Our equipment can be easily integrated into different training environments, whether it’s outdoor public parks or private institutes.

We offer a wide range of products, including the Spirer parallel bar and Spirer 1800, which are designed to strengthen and train your parkour skills. Parkour practitioners can train and explore their limits in many locations both in Denmark and internationally. Our products are created with safety, durability and functionality in mind so you can fully focus on your training and development. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced tracker, our equipment will help you achieve your goals and challenge you to master new techniques and movements.

Safe parkour environment

At NOORD, we pride ourselves on our commitment to creating safe and functional training areas for parkour. We have been responsible for the installation of fall mats at several parkour facilities, improving both safety and comfort for the athletes. The mats reduce the risk of injury from falls and allow trainees to train with greater confidence. This is especially important for beginners who may be more prone to falls and injuries while learning basic techniques and movements. By providing a safe training surface, we help parkour practitioners of all levels develop their skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Mikkel Rugaard is a creative professional with a wide range of experience in design and art. His work spans multiple disciplines, including architecture, urban spaces and installations. Together with Mikkel Rugaard, we have collaborated to create safe and inspiring training areas for parkour enthusiasts. NOORD has been responsible for the installation of fall surfaces at parkour facilities in both Roskilde and Maribo, projects designed by Mikkel Rugaard. This collaboration has resulted in unique training environments that are both challenging and safe for the athletes.

Why schools and educational institutions should focus on movement

We are proud to present our range of outdoor equipment tailored towards schools and public institutions. By combining learning with movement, we can create a dynamic learning environment that not only benefits individual students and participants, but also strengthens the entire community.
 
By incorporating movement into teaching, it is possible to engage students in a more active and practical way. Studies show that movement based learning improves comprehension, memory and problem solving skills.
 
Short breaks for physical activity can also improve students’ concentration and attention. Providing equipment for outdoor play and movement can create opportunities for these important breaks during the school day.

Sustainability and Health in the UN17 Park Project

Sustainability and Health in the UN17 Park Project

Solna UN17 park has been developed to create environments that develop children and adults and create harmony and happy people. UNIQA’s focus areas are to create unique indoor and outdoor environments that create value for users and design unique solutions for unique people, with a focus on learning, play, socialization and movement.

Integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Solna UN17 Park

The plan for Solna UN17 Park is to integrate the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals into one park. Each goal is represented through different installations and activities to raise awareness of sustainability and encourage visitors to engage in environmentally friendly initiatives. The park is designed to be an inspiring and educational place that promotes sustainability in society. The concept includes various elements and installations that will support and inform about all 17 global goals in different ways. The park is a destination for both short and long visits, where you can play, exercise, challenge your colleagues to a paddle match, have lunch or hold outdoor meetings. Here are two UN Sustainable Development Goals that focus on health and sustainability:

Goal 3 – Health and Well-being – Installation: Outdoor Gym

This area encourages taking care of health by participating in activities that promote well-being. Exercise has many positive effects on health, such as increased alertness, strength and improved memory, as well as better sleep. The outdoor gym offers opportunities to exercise and stay healthy.

Goal 7 – Sustainable Energy – Installation: Solar bike rack

Bicycles can be parked under solar panels that provide clean energy to the area. Electric bikes can also be charged here.

NOORD Outdoor Fitness and the UN Global Goals

NOORD Outdoor Fitness offers a platform that actively promotes physical activity and health among visitors. This supports the UN’s goal of improving global health and well-being by encouraging regular exercise and healthy lifestyles. NOORD Outdoor Fitness is known for their eco-friendly approaches, including the use of recycled materials and energy-efficient design. Integrating such solutions into UN17 parks demonstrates and promotes sustainability in practice, supporting the UN’s goal of ensuring sustainable development and responsible consumption of resources.

Global Goals in Action

These parks may vary in their specific design and activities, but they all share a common mission to promote sustainability and educate the public about the importance of the 17 SDGs. Several countries have already taken the initiative to develop such parks and the concept is still being developed in many places. In countries such as Sweden, Denmark, and several other European nations, parks or projects that integrate the SDGs have already been established. Other countries around the world are exploring and implementing similar initiatives to create awareness and engagement around sustainable development. This global momentum reflects a growing recognition of the need for sustainable solutions and educational initiatives to ensure a better future for generations to come.

NOORD is proud to have contributed to this project together with UNIQA and we are happy to have contributed with our innovative fitness equipment. The project has been realized in close collaboration between Fabege and BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, and we are thrilled to be part of this visionary effort to create a sustainable and healthier future.

If you would like further information or are considering a similar project, please feel free to contact us on phone +45 53 80 46 63 or via email at Info@noord.dk. We look forward to hearing from you and helping to realize more sustainable and innovative projects.

Colleges and universities demand outdoor fitness equipment

At colleges and universities in Denmark as well as in the rest of the world, we also see an increasing demand for areas with outdoor fitness equipment. At Roskilde Gymnasium in Denmark, the school has chosen to create an area with outdoor fitness equipment near the school’s hall and playing fields, so that during the summer months it is possible to incorporate the equipment into the sports lessons. 

The area is beautifully situated between pines and bushes, which frame the area in the finest way. Underneath the equipment, the school has chosen a rubber surface with its own logo as fall protection. The school’s area with outdoor fitness equipment consists of push-up bars, parallel bars, jump boxes in different heights and bars for triceps extensions.
