A trampoline is a device consisting of a
piece of taut, strong fabric stretched over a steel frame using many
coiled springs. People bounce on trampolines for recreational and
competitive purposes. The fabric on which users bounce (commonly known
as the 'bounce mat' or 'trampoline bed') is not elastic in itself; the
elasticity is provided by the springs that connect it to the frame.
What's a trampoline
for if not to have fun on? Sure enough, trampoline exercise routines are
good for people who avoid gyms like the plague and are bored by normal,
mundane routines. A trampoline is easy to use and gentle on the joints,
while also being fun to work out on. Rebounding, which is what
trampoline exercise is called, is easy on your joints as well as
adaptable to your pace and intensity. What is most important is that you
are well-adjusted to the feel of your trampoline before you begin using
it in earnest and that you are fully comfortable working out on it.
Competitive
sports :- One of the earliest pioneers of trampoline as a competitive
sport was Jeff Hennessy, a coach at the University of Louisiana at
Lafayette. Hennessy also coached the United States trampoline team,
producing more world champions than any other person. Among his world
champions was his daughter, Leigh Hennessy. Both Jeff and Leigh Hennessy
are in the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame. The competitive gymnastic sport
of trampolining has been part of the Olympic Games since 2000. On a
modern competitive trampoline
a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to 10 metres (33 ft),
performing multiple somersaults and twists. Trampolines also feature in
the competitive sport of Slamball, a variant of basketball, and
Bossaball, a variant of volleyball.
