Health Benefits

Kids need exercise to be healthy! Trampolining is fun and great exercise!

The prevalence of overweight children is on the rise, and with the extra weight, increased risk of heart disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and even poor self-esteem. Experts agree that exercise is a key factor in reducing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Getting children to "exercise" though can be difficult. But you won't need to convince them to have fun jumping on a trampoline! Trampolining is such a great form of aerobic exercise that it has been used to train astronauts. After years of increasing popularity, in 1999, it became an official Olympic sport.

"Young people need 1 1/2 hours a day of at least moderate intensity physical activity for cardiovascular health."–Norwegian School of Sports Science, Oslo

The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in their online article Physical Activity and the Health of Young People, states that "children and adolescents who are overweight are more likely to be overweight or obese as adults. Overweight adults are at increased risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer, and gallbladder disease."

The National Diabetes Education Program website states that "currently, because 10 to 15 percent of children and teens are overweight–about double the number of two decades ago–increasing numbers of young people have type 2 diabetes. In several clinic-based studies, the percentage of children with newly diagnosed diabetes classified as type 2 has increased from less than 5 percent before 1994 to 30-50 percent in subsequent years."
