Nowadays, trampoline parks are highly popular and continue to grow because they appeal to all ages. Trampoline is not just another prop for children during birthday parties, but works as an effective equipment that can help you lose weight and shape your body within a short period of time. This article will help you to figure out the benefits of trampoline for the body.

This article contains the following:

•  Background & history of rebounding

•  Benefits Of Trampoline Exercises

1. Background & history of rebounding

Trampoline and roll-over exercises have been around for a long time, dating back to archaeological drawings from ancient China, Egypt and Persia. According to the Olympic movement's official website, the modern trampoline was developed in 1934 by George Nissen and Larry Griswold at the university of Iowa.

Trampolines were originally used as training tools for other sports, such as acrobatics, tumbling, diving, gymnastics and freestyle skiing. Eventually, trampoline became so popular that it became an Olympic sport.

The first world trampoline championships were held in 1964, and trampoline was first recognized as a sport in the United States in 1967. The double mini trampoline competition was added in 1978 and began with two separate mini trampolines separated by a small padded table. Later, Bob Bollinger developed an all-in-one unit that is used today as the official equipment for the event.

Trampolines have become useful in understanding gravity and its effect on motion. The Journal of Applied Physiology records a 1980 NASA rebound study of eight young men aged 19 to 26. Our goal is to understand the distribution of human acceleration and its relationship to creative acceleration.

The results showed that at the same heart rate and oxygen uptake levels, the magnitude of the bio-mechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a trampoline than with running, a finding that might help identify acceleration parameters needed for the design of remedial procedures to avert deconditioning in persons exposed to weightlessness. 

2. Benefits Of Trampoline Exercises

Trampoline workouts are full of benefits. If you are looking for reasons as to why you should try this equipment, let me list a couple of trampoline exercise benefits.

l Cardiovascular Benefit

Rebounding requires the use of several muscle groups, similar to jogging, but has the added benefit of causing much lower levels of shock trauma to the skeletal system than running on hard surfaces. Extended use of a mini trampoline increases lung capacities and red blood cell counts and lowers blood pressure.

l Weight Loss

Rebounding is a proven way to burn calories and fat, and tone muscle across the body. As a total body exercise, every part of the body receives a workout during rebounding, promoting the burning of calories and fat deposits. Rebounding also helps increase metabolism, resulting in calorie use for extended periods after rebounding has finished. The added benefit is you don’t have to take time out of your day to go to the gym, or set aside extensive time for exercise. You can do rebounding at home, where even a few minutes is beneficial, and can be done in front of the television, or while looking after the children.

l Lower the chance of heart disease:

The workout of trampolining increases blood flow for lower cholesterol, decreased blood pressure, and increased heart strength and efficiency, which lessen the likelihood of heart disease.

l Mental strengthening

The increased blood flow to the brain and greater enzyme activity that result from using a trampoline are thought to heighten mental alertness and promote faster reaction times, enhanced vision and improved balance.

l Increased metabolism:

Trampoline exercise has been proven to increase your metabolic rate, helping your body to process nutrients more efficiently. This helps to keep your weight down.

l Coordination:

Trampoline exercise is a great way to develop the skills that allow you to undertake a number of actions requiring concentration: bouncing, balancing, maintaining the body’s position, and anticipating the next action. This is proven to have a positive impact on bilateral motor skills, as well as allowing trampolinists to control different muscles and limbs simultaneously.

l Fun

There are so many different types of exercises and aerobics you can do with trampolines these days. Also, the development of indoor trampoline parks offers many different activities for everyone, including aerobics on trampolines, dodge ball on trampolines, and endless bouncing, all of which are a fun, great workout.

3.How to jump on an in-ground trampoline 

l Keep your feet on the trampoline and do a series of small jumps. 

l Do small jumps where your feet leave the trampoline

l Make larger jumps to increase your G-force

The benefit of rebounding is that it is a gentle exercise, which means you don’t have to get highly airborne in order to reap the benefits of the routine. Bouncing, and bending your knees when you land is just as beneficial. To get the most from your rebounding workout, schedule time to do it several times a day, each day of the week. Because this workout routine doesn’t cause any stress or strain on your joints, you don’t have to have “down days” to allow your body to recover — there is no recovery time necessary when you’re rebounding.

In conclusion, trampolines aren’t just for backyards, they have some amazing health benefits for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes.
