Movies
editMovie studios provide them for actors to rest on between performances to avoid wrinkling costumes.[1]
Exercise
editThere are two varieties for exercises:
- a long padded board which will accommodate the full length of the lying body
- a smaller wooden platform for standing upon.
The calf muscles or triceps surae may be stretched by a daily exercise of standing upon a slant board.[2]
