Benefits of Rebounding: According to the Research!

[Music] I don't know if this happened to you but YouTube started recommending rebounder videos to me many months ago and I became intrigued and fascinated and I bought one people kept mentioning research and a famous NASA study so I wanted to know the real full details of that study plus [Music] others NASA's study was in 1980 it compared the effects of running on a treadmill to jumping on a trampoline they did this in an effort to help astronauts returning from outer space because for every year they're in space they lose 1% bone density not to mention losing a lot of muscle mass people do not realize how fast you can lose your muscle mass I had surgery on my foot and it required me to be off of my foot completely no walking no weight bearing for 2 weeks that is all it took for me to go from a normal Smalls siiz leg to a non-existent toothpick of a leg I completely lost all muscle mass it took many months for me to regain my leg muscles so with the NASA study they took GeForce measurements on different parts of the body to determine the impact of the type of exercise they were doing now for the group that was jogging they discovered that the gForce measured at the ankle was always more than twice the gForce measured at the back and for fore head while they were running on the treadmill while jumping on a trampoline the GeForce was almost the same across all three [Music] points according to the study results jumping on a trampoline feels less difficult feels like it takes less effort and uses less energy but it provides significantly greater work output what they mean by work output is the energy expenditure muscular effort and overall physical demands of different activities jumping on a trampoline enables more work to be performed with less energy being used the study also said that low intensity jumping on a trampoline can provide greater stimulation to the gravity receptors which are in your ear this is important because as you age you have a higher likelihood of having vestibular problems or issues with your balance and those gravity receptors play a big part in that when it comes to research on rebounding or jumping on a trampoline there aren't extensive large scale studies on this there are very small and very few studies on it you can kind of also extrapolate from other studies that focus on cardiovascular health and the benefits of aerobic exercise and building muscle and even the smaller studies though they're also helpful to give you insights into to like potential benefits it' be great if there was more research on this this study focused on the health effects of a 12we mini trampoline rebounding exercise program on overweight women from Italy they noticed a significant decrease in both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of these women there was an improvement in lipid and glucose panels they also reported that they had positive changes in their quality of life and mental well-being this other 12we study evaluated the effectiveness of a mini trampoline training program for older women with osteopenia so this was a 12we study which combined balance strength and jumping exercises in their intervention using a mini trampoline like this right here now this study showed that it was highly effective at improving balance functional mobility strength gate performance and the fear of falling with those who are dealing with osteopenia now it did talk about one other topic that is mentioned sometimes in regards to trampoline use and in this particular study it's said that there was an increase in the bone mineral density in the neck of those in the intervention group they also checked the bone mineral density of the lumber spine and there was no difference shown there so this study did go on for 12 weeks and it involved 40 participants now this study had 29 participants and it evaluated the bone size and Bone strength and structure of professional trampoline artists trampolinists is the real word what they discovered is that they had a higher bone density at their hips and their spines they also had a greater thickness of the tibia in addition the bone size of the tibia was actually larger they also had higher muscle strength in the lower body compared to the control group and when it comes to the muscle strength of the upper body there was no difference between this group and the control group which is important to keep in mind because I feel like rebounding really really works a lot of aspects of your body body but specifically it feels like it places a strong emphasis on your midsection your core and your lower body so I believe it can also impact above that area but if you want to really work your arms you probably need to incorporate other things into your routine you can also use the rebounder itself to do push-ups on the side of it instead of using like Push-Up Bars one major benefit of regular exercise is an increas in energy and a decrease in your levels of fatigue and this could help anybody but it seems like in this day and age a lot of people especially even younger people are having issues of chronic fatigue so working out is really important and it can boost your energy [Music] levels now I was reading a systematic review in meta analysis of randomized Trials related to this very topic there's a lot of evidence for a aerobic exercise and just physical fitness in general for improving energy one very interesting thing that I learned from this research was that the exercise intensity and duration are two very important key points if you do want to improve your energy levels low intensity exercise did not have a significant impact so high-intensity exercise showed much greater potential for benefits including energy and decreased fatigue in addition to that longer interventions longer exercise sessions were associated with much greater energy levels one other thing that is mentioned all the time when people are talking about rebounding is that it's supposed to be amazing for your lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage basically the lymphatic system is a very important component of your circulatory system it plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance immune function and waste removal in the body it comprises of lymph nodes vessels and organs and it operates parallel to the blood circulatory system and people who have chronic health conditions they often have a dysfunction in their lymphatic system unlike your circulatory system the lymphatic system does not have a Central Pump like your heart so it relies on the contraction of the surrounding muscles of body movements and breathing to propel lymph through the system promoting lymphatic drainage it is crucial for several reasons it aids in the removal of excess fluid and waste products it prevents the buildup of toxins in your tissues and efficient lymphatic drainage supports a healthy immune system by facilitating the filtering of harmful substances in your lymph nodes it also contributes to tissue health and it helps prevent conditions related to fluid retention and inflammation now there's a small Mouse study on how exercise training can improve obesity related lymphatic dysfunction function and it said aerobic exercise irrespective of weight loss whether you lose weight or not if you're doing aerobic exercise it can at least partially reverse obesity induced lymphatic dysfunction which was found in these mice hopefully the same applies for humans so I've been using a rebounder for 2 weeks now and I can't believe it's only been two weeks cuz I feel like it's been forever in a very positive way when I say that what I'm going to do is I'm going to share with you in this next video which is going to be kind of a part two all of my thoughts and experiences and the details of the trampoline that I bought and I want to share this in a separate video because this is something that took me a lot of time and a lot of research to find this particular one that I ended up purchasing and you know it's a bit of an investment these range from $100 to $1,000 and there are some things that you should keep in mind before just buying buying one there's so many things to think about and in the next video I'm going to share with you what I purchased and my honest thoughts and my honest experiences everything that I've experienced in the last two weeks since using it thank you so much for watching
