Efficient Exercise
According to a study completed by NASA, a 10 minute jump on a trampoline is equivalent to a
30 minute run. This means trampolining is 68% more effective than running and provides equal
benefits in a shorter timeframe.
Cardiovascular Fitness
Trampolining provides the vigorous workout necessary to maintain cardiovascular fitness
through increased heart and pulse rate, while taking less time out of your busy schedule.
Low Impact Exercise
Trampolining is a low impact exercise. A jumper’s vertical acceleration and deceleration is
absorbed by the trampoline mat, taking up 80% of the shock. In comparison, hard surfaces like
roads have no “give”. Trampolining protects your joints while exercising your muscles.
Stronger Bones
The repetitive action of jumping improves bone mineral content and builds the musculoskeletal
system. Each landing from a jump is double the force of gravity, which develops muscle
strength over time and prevents bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Detoxifying and lymphatic drainage
Bouncing on a trampoline stimulates the free-flowing lymphatic drainage system, helping rid
your body of toxins, trapped protein, bacteria, viruses and other cell waste. The
acceleration, deceleration and gravity of trampolining provide the ideal conditions for
cleansing our body’s cells. Cellular stimulation is increased which forces out waste materials
from cells.
Mental Health
Physical activity makes you feel happy, positive and self-confident. Endorphins, the positive
mood enhancing chemicals released during exercise, are triggered when jumping. An added
benefit is the sheer fun factor of jumping up and down. It will make you smile, laugh and feel
happy!
