Here's our list of the top 10 Benefits of Trampolines! 

1. Jumping on a Trampoline is the most effective form of exercise

​According to NASA, rebound exercise such as jumping on a trampoline is ‘the most efficient, effective form of exercise yet devised by man’. In fact, their study found that 10 minutes jumping on a trampoline can be a better workout than 30 minutes of running.

​2. Jumping can enhance motor skills

Bouncing on a trampoline is a great way of enhancing children’s muscle development, strengthening bones and reinforcing joints. This is beneficial for all children but can be especially helpful to children with special needs. 

3. Trampolining improves coordination and balance

Bouncing on a trampoline creates a constantly shifting centre of gravity, which kids must quickly respond to by adjusting their positions and bilateral movements. This is known to drastically improve their co-ordination and balance.

4. Bouncing is great for stress-relief

The motion of jumping up and down on a trampoline is fun and a great way to wind down after a difficult day in school. The concentration, fun and repetition of rebounding on a trampoline is great for advancing sensory skills. 

5. Jumping on a trampoline can improve behaviour 

Bouncing can really have a positive effect on kids’ behavioural issues. It is a great way for kids to expend their energy, which might otherwise result in more destructive behaviour. This exercise is also great for increasing the circulation of oxygen to their brain, which can help to make them feel more alert and refreshed, and improve their concentration.

6. Trampolines can improve kids’ ability to learn

Through calming kids down and improving their concentration, trampolining can improve kids’ engagement in learning. The trampolines themselves can also be an effective and engaging tool for learning. Counting, jumping onto coloured shapes and following directions are just some of the ways that kids can learn through play.

 

7. Trampoline improves academic success 

People are often surprised to hear that a child’s ability to learn can be hugely influenced by their ability to control their body and movements. Trampolining is a great way of enhancing these skills and giving children a better chance at academic success.

8. Jumping on a trampoline builds confidence 

For kids who are wary of new things and physical activities, trampolines are a great way of building their confidence. There is no right or wrong way to move on a trampoline so they experience instant success, which increases their courage and self-confidence.

9. Bouncing strengthens the immune system

The act of rebounding on a trampoline stimulates internal organs and promotes lymphatic circulation, pushing toxins out of cells and allowing nutrients in. This is great for detoxifying the body and strengthening the immune system.

10. Jumping makes you happy

Experiencing the weightlessness of trampolining can be exhilarating and uplifting. On top of that, the increased oxygen circulation stimulates the release of endorphins that are naturally mood-enhancing.
