NASA compared jogging, running on a treadmill and rebounding in preparing astronauts for space flights. Their results found:
- “for similar levels of heart rate and oxygen consumption, the magnitude of the bio-mechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a rebounder than with running . ..”
- Overall, NASA found that the use of the trampoline (or rebounding) exceeded jogging and the use of treadmill in virtually every way to measure results.
Dr. Morton Walker in the Townsend Letter for Doctors gave the following benefits for rebounding:
- Increased balance and coordination
- Lessens chances of cardiovascular disease
- Aids in lymphatic circulation
- Lowers resting heart rate
- Stimulates metabolism
- Improves eye vision
- Circulates more oxygen to bodily tissues
- Tones glandular system, especially the output of the thyroid
- Increases muscular vigor and the tone of muscle fiber
- Reduces headaches, back pain and other aches caused by lack of exercise
- Allows for deeper and easier sleep and relaxation
