Slacklining involves balancing along a stretched piece of webbing between two anchor points. It originated in rock climbing and has evolved into a recreational activity, sport, and cross-training exercise. Slacklining provides physical and mental benefits such as improved balance, body awareness, focus, strength, and reduced risk of injury. There are different styles of slacklining including tricklining, waterlining, longlining, highlining, and rodeolining which incorporate tricks, high elevations, long distances, or swinging motions.
