What Are The Main Benefits Of Trampoline Exercise ?
Many people might look at
someone bouncing on a trampoline
and wonder what all the excitement
is about. But the truth
is, trampolines are great
for physical fitness of children
and adults, as well as for
influencing other things such
as
balance.
Trampolines are used regularly
by athletes who skate,
dance, dive, or do gymnastics.
That's because bouncing on
a trampoline takes more than
just the effort of jumping
up
and down. It takes coordination
to achieve consistent
height, balanced landings,
and the ability to perform
complex maneuvers without
injury.
These athletes learn to hone
skills important to their
own
sports, by using the mechanics
of the trampoline. This can
include techniques like turns,
flips, and splits.
Children who learn how to
use a trampoline properly,
gain a
new sense of freedom, and
the thrill of soaring into
the
air. A few lessons can go
a long way towards giving
them a
sense of achievement and self-confidence,
especially if
they have tried other, more
difficult sports and not been
successful.
Adults can benefit from either
full size trampolines, or
the smaller ones known as
"rebounders", designed to
be used
in the home. Not only does
the gentle activity of bouncing
on a trampoline strengthen
voluntary and involuntary
muscles, it helps bones to
become stronger, and stay
denser.
The aerobic activity involved
strengthens the heart, and
provides you with many of
the same benefits as jogging,
with less stress on weight
bearing joints.
The "G" force, or effects
of gravity in jogging, can
actually increase the impact
on your feet, to a value that
is equivalent to four times
your body weight. Using a
trampoline can reduce that
stress by 80%, providing a
safe,
effective way to exercise
for older adults, and those
with
certain physical challenges.
