En français, il est préférable de nommer le ballon selon son utilisation : «ballon d'entraînement», «ballon d'exercice»; le terme «ballon médicinal» vaut pour la pièce d'équipement en physiothérapie. Les formes à l'anglaise ont cours en Europe et ne sont pas recommandées au Canada. Le calque «ballon médecine» est à éviter. 6, record 2, French, - ballon%20d%27entra%C3%AEnement
