Trampoline exercise 'helps fight fatigue'
29/06/2010 The gravity created by jumping on a mini trampoline is believed to benefit muscles, cells and the lymphatic system, according to one expert.
Tony Gallagher, a fitness life coach for the Daily Telegraph, said that mini trampolines have long been recognised for their health benefits and the same advantages are likely to be gained from jumping on a larger trampoline.
Among the benefits of trampoline exercise are increased balance, coordination and cardiovascular fitness.
Jumping on a trampoline is also an extremely low-impact exercise, as the trampoline pad absorbs most of the force of the bounce.
Writing for the newspaper, Mr Gallagher said: "Nasa claimed this bouncing exercise was 68 per cent more efficient than jogging, and fights fatigue by strengthening the glandular system including thyroid, pituitary and adrenal."
The Daily Telegraph isn't the only newspaper which has highlighted the benefits of trampoline exercise recently.
Earlier this month, the Express described trampolines as the "ultimate piece of garden gym equipment".
