Jumping Trampolines For Fun And A Better Health

By Merv Carlson


Jumping on a trampoline is always fun, no matter what your purpose of jumping trampoline is. People jump trampolines for exercise, sports training or just for fun. The really nice thing about jumping trampolines is that this activity is for everyone of any ages, from kids, teenagers, to adults. Everybody when taking part into this fun activity can get many health benefits.

All of the fun aside, trampolining is an incredibly effective way to exercise. Children have long enjoyed the thrill of bouncing as high as possible, and the feeling of weightlessness at apogee, but adults are beginning to realize that trampolining can be one of the most effective ways to get a well rounded workout. Jumping on a trampoline can be better than jogging, not only because it's funner, but it can provide a better workout with less impact from gravity. Jogging or running can be stressful on the joints and the back, but because trampolines cushion the impact, the stress on joints is alleviated. In addition, trampolining prolongs the motion of each muscle group, and it involves more muscle groups than running.

Jumping is a movement that involves more than just the legs. Starting at a squat, and using a smooth, proper movement to jump upwards, there are a number of muscles involved. The calves provide power to the feet for both maintaining balance and getting that final push off of the trampoline as the heel is lifted and you roll onto the balls of your feet. The thighs and the quadriceps provide the power to extend the legs from a squat to an upright position. The lower back and the gluteal muscles enhance the power of the legs. Even the shoulders and chest muscles are used to maintain balance and to gain momentum.

Professional athletes have been using trampolines to train and to exercise for many years. Most notable, Olympic gymnasts and divers use trampolines to practice form and technique while jumping. The practice of training with a trampoline has expanded to include basketball players, snowboarders and skiers, and martial arts athletes. Trampoline World offers a variety of trampolines ranging in size from 13 feet to 17 feet diameter, perfect for getting a great workout while having fun.

When designing a trampoline, performance is one of the key factors that is considered. Trampolines come in a variety of sizes and types, like the 13.5' Big Wave wet trampoline to keep bouncers cool on hot summer days, and the massive 11'x17' GTS Extreme Series with maximum bouncing area. Whether in the Family or the Extreme Series, one thing that is common to all of the trampolines that Trampoline World offers is a focus on quality and safety.
