Trampoline Jumping Exercise, also known as rebounding, may not be one’s idea of strenuous exercise and may seem an insignificant addition to your health routine but it is in fact one of the easiest and most effective low-impact cardio workouts around.

What makes Trampoline Jumping Exercise such a unique form of exercise?

At the peak of each bounce your body reaches a weightless state and then lands with twice the force of gravity on each jump. This twofold gravity affects every muscle and cell of the body. Recent studies by researchers at the University of Kentucky, in conjunction with NASA focused exclusively on the effectiveness of “rebounding” as a form of exercise.

Below is a simplified example which compares calories burnt jogging vs the amount of calories trampoline bouncing (units converted to the metric system):

a person weighing 70 kg spending one hour on a mini-trampoline will burn about 410 calories whilst the same person jogging for 1 hour (at a pace of 8 kilometers per hour) will burn approximately only 355 calories.

The researchers concluded: “These responses measured by whole-body vibration [on the trampoline] resemble those during mild exercise and suggest that perhaps body vibration could be used in place of exercise.”
