The Best Trampolines on the Market

Image
The best trampolines offer much fun for the kids and adults equally. The round ones are trendy now, yet the rectangular ones have more bounce but more than one person at a time is not recommended at a time. If you can afford it, bigger is better. A 15-inch trampoline is a popular size for most families. Trampolines are used in Olympic sports by contestants with the best performance skills worldwide. It is too dangerous for competition exercise to be done on a home trampoline for beginners. Get your kids off their cell phone and x-boxes indoors for much needed exercise in the backyard or country setting you might have. Here in the United States we are mindful of the risks involved using trampolines. When your kids are learning how to jump, it’s important to supervise them with a watchful eye. Many sports facilities offer trampoline lessons and you might want to look into that. Here are some astounding numbers for 2003: doctors, hospital emergency rooms, and clini...

Things to Consider When Looking for the Best Trampoline

Image
Safety Trampoline safety is the number one factor to think about before you buy a trampoline. It’s only been a little over a decade since the majority of trampolines have started including safety enclosures. Nowadays, it’s uncommon to find a trampoline that does not come standard with one. There’s an even newer area of safety that has grown in popularity over the past few years, Springless trampolines. If you’ve ever jumped on a standard model, then you are probably familiar with the outer ring. The springs give the trampoline its bounce, but also increase the risk of injury. Even with an enclosure, it only prevents kids from hitting the edge or falling off the trampoline. This cannot prevent a leg or arm from getting caught through the gap. Make sure when buying a trampoline to always check out the safety features the trampoline has. If you buy a used trampoline make sure to inspect it thoroughly for any damage it might have.

What’s the Best Trampoline – And the Safest

Image
Our backyard trampoline is great fun for our entire family. And great exercise too. With a little research and comparison shopping, we were able to find a great trampoline for our family and yard. We’ve had two of them, plus a small indoor one. Plus we’ve trained youngsters in local gymnastic centers. Of course, that doesn’t make us the “be all and end all” experts. But it does leave us with enough experience to give you a few pointers. Today there is a wide diversity of trampoline manufacturers, shapes and sizes. However, they all seem to be similar. They all claim to be the best trampoline. And it’s hard to tell from a casual look which one is the safest and most durable. I am a bit obsessive (perhaps neurotic?), so I did a lot of homework when choosing our trampolines. For me it was not just about price and size; it was about my children’s safety. After that, I considered the suitability of a particular design for our living space and lifestyle. Rea...

Background & History of Rebounding

Image
Trampoline and tumbling exercises have been around for a very long time and can be traced to archeological drawings found in ancient China, Egypt and Persia. The firs modern trampolines were developed in 1934 by George Nissen and Larry Griswold at the University of Iowa, according to the official website of the Olympic movement. Trampolines were originally used to train astronauts and were used as a training tool for other sports, such as acrobatics, tumbling, diving, gymnastics and freestyle skiing. Eventually, trampolines became so popular to the point of becoming a sport in the Olympic games. The first Trampoline World Championships took place in 1964, and trampoline was first recognized as a sport in the U.S. in 1967. The double mini-trampoline competition was added in 1978 and began as two individual mini-trampolines, separated by a small table covered by a mat. Later, a one-piece unit was developed by Bob Bollinger and is used today a...
