The Health Benefits of Rebounding on a Mini Trampoline

As promised, below is a list of potential benefits that can be obtained by rebounding on a trampoline.

This list is from Dr. Morton Walker's book, Jumping for Health:

1) Increases respiratory capacity. (lowering mortality)
2) Circulates greater oxygen to tissues (raising immunity)
3) Creates higher equilibrium between tissue oxygen need and oxygen availability. (creating greater power)
4) Greatly enhances muscular and valvular fluid exchange, lightening the heart’s workload and facilitating lymph-flow.
5) Tends to reduce levels of arterial blood pressure during exercise. (resting heart)
6) Lessens the higher blood-pressure period after exercise. (resting the heart)
7) Increases resistance to cardiovascular disease.
8) Increases red-cell production activity of the bone marrow. (raising oxygen-delivery capacity)
9) Aids venous blood flow as well as lymph flow. (enhancing waste-cleansing)
10) Encourages collateral circulation of blood and oxygen.
11) Strengthens heart muscle and other muscles, causing them to work with greater efficiency.
12) Lowers elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.(producing arterial health)
13) Allows heart to beat more slowly at rest.
14) Stimulates metabolic activity.
15) Promotes growth and tissue repair.
16) Tones the endocrine system, especially the thyroid, to increase output.
17) Enhances the body’s alkaline reserve for potential emergency output.
18) Attains absolute potential of the cells on a biochemical level (maximizing function and performance).
19) Conserves physical strength and efficiency.
20) Expands the body’s capacity for nutrient fuel storage and endurance.
21) Improves coordination through enhanced transmission of nerve impulses and muscle response.
22) Produces vigor through increased muscle fiber tone.
23) Provides relief from neck and back pains, headaches and pains due to poorly toned physiology.
24) Enhances digestion and elimination.
25) Creates purer sleep and relaxation.
26) Increases mental performance, enhancing learning.
27) Curtails fatigue and menstrual discomfort in women.
28) Minimizes colds, allergies, digestive and abdominal problems.
29) Slows aging.
30) Lessens likelihood of obesity.

In another post I'll share some of my personal experiences from rebounding.
