When I was a kid, I loved jumping<\/a> on my trampoline in my back garden and just randomly jumping around like a happy little bunny. Most of us jump less and sit more as we grow into adulthood and the years go by, especially if we work a desk job on the computer. Researchers<\/a> have found a range of benefits from jumping and rebounding (bouncing on a small one-person trampoline), including boosting muscle strength, balance, endurance, coordination, and quality of life.<\/p>\n

In one study<\/a>, NASA revealed that rebounding is more effective than running<\/a> because this type of exercise uses gravity to optimize gains while conserving effort. The NASA scientists found that just 10 minutes of rebounding is 68% more efficient than 30 minutes of jogging because it expends less energy and exerts less stress on your joints and cardiovascular system. The rate of oxygen consumption was up to twice as efficient rebounding compared to treadmill running. Personally, I think jumping on a trampoline is way more fun than running on a treadmill<\/a>. Let\u2019s look at some of the research on jumping for your joints.<\/p>\n
