How Rebound Exercise Accomplishes Its Benefits

Rebounding involves aerobic movements performed on a bouncing device that looks like a small trampoline. It has you jumping up and down for health and fitness. As an ideal jumping device, the mini-trampoline or "rebounder," has a strong woven mat attached by coiled steel springs to a circular steel frame. The rebounder usually is round, although some models have been made oval, rectangular, square or polygonal. The entire jumping surface of the mat is twenty-eight inches in diameter, stands on six legs with spring coils of their own, which are seven to nine inches high.

Sometimes, for people who feel unsteady on their feet or for the elderly, handicapped, and disabled, a stabilizing bar may be added to the rebounder's frame (see Photograph 2). It's attached to two of the frame's legs so that the individual needing more security can hold onto this bar and still bounce aerobically.                                                                        

In jumping on a well-made rebounder, the exerciser usually feels invigorated and filled with a sense of well-being. People who rebound find they're able to work longer, sleep better, and feel less tense and nervous. The effect is not just psychological, because the action of bouncing up and down against gravity, without trauma to the musculoskeletal system, is one of the most beneficial aerobic exercises ever developed.

Rebounding aerobics is working with gravity to cleanse your tissue cells and act as an oxygenator, which, in turn, lightens the load on the heart. Also it's fun to bounce! Much more than fun, however, rebounding provides a number of physiological pick-me-ups for the person who sustains this activity for at least ten minutes, four times a day, or for a single daily session for 40 minutes. As you bounce, your feet hit the mat with twice the force of gravity. Then just as the astronauts experience while floating in space, your body is in a state of weightlessness at the top of the bounce.

Jumping on the mini-trampoline is remarkably un-strenuous on the Joints. There's no solid ground to suddenly stop the bouncing of your feet. Your movements are perfectly safe, and they make the effect of gravity beneficial. By working against constant gravitational pressure while bouncing, you resist the Earth's pull. Your resistance is subtle, but it builds cellular strength. Rebounding's alternating weightlessness and doublegravity produce a pumping action which pulls out waste products from the cells and forces into them, oxygen and nutrition from the bloodstream.


Jumping's Oxygenating Effect

If you have a resting heart rate of less than 60 beats a minute, don't smoke, don't have chest pain, live a healthful lifestyle, and engage in rebounding for 40 minutes or more each day, at least five days a week, theoretically it's not likely that you'll ever develop a heart problem if you have none now. Jumping on a rebounder helps you to attain your heart rate target zone every day that you rebound for the recommended 40 minutes.

Rebound exercise strengthens your heart in two ways: It improves the tone and quality of the muscle itself, and it increases the coordination of the fibers as they wring blood out of the heart during each beat. The aerobic effect while you are rebound-jumping equals and often surpasses that of running.

Your rate of rebounding will vary, depending on how vigorously you bounce and how high you lift your feet off the mat. Rebound exercise offers the ideal aerobic effect with almost any rate of performance, because it fills all the requisites of an oxygenating exercise. It's likely that the vast amount of oxygen taken in by Dr. Samuel Kofsky over a sustained period was the true source of his cancer remission. Rebounding might be considered a precursor movement for better achieving the oxygen therapies.

Rebounding offers a less stressful means of reducing body fat and simultaneously firming body tissues. Running in place on the rebounder burns calories effectively. According to a person's body weight, Table A shows how many calories from running on the rebounder may be expended per specified period of time in minutes.

The Detoxification Effect of Rebounding

The lymphatic system is the metabolic garbage can of the body. It rids you of toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. The movement performed in rebounding provides the stimulus for a free-flowing system that drains away these potential poisons.

Unlike the arterial system, the lymphatic system does not have its own pump. It has no heart muscle to move the fluid around through its lymph vessels. There are just three ways to activate the flow of lymph away from the tissues it serves and back into the main pulmonary circulation. Lymphatic flow requires muscular contraction from exercise and movement, gravitational pressure, and internal massage to the valves of lymph ducts.

Rebounding supplies all three methods of removing waste products from the cells and from the body. Then arterial blood enters the capillaries in order to furnish the cells with fresh tissue fluid containing food and oxygen. The bouncing motion effectively moves and recycles the lymph and the entire blood supply through the circulatory system many times during the course of the rebounding session.

Rebounding is a lymphatic exercise. As stated earlier, it has the same effect on your body as jumping rope, but without any jarring effect to the ankles, knees, and lower back that comes from hitting the ground. Better than rope jumping, however, the lymphatic channels get put under hydraulic pressure to move fluids containing waste products of metabolism around and out of the body through the left subclavian vein.


Rebounding's Stabilizing Effect on the Nervous System

Bouncing on a rebounder is an excellent method of reducing stress. It can put the bouncing person into a trance like state and totally relax him or her. Jumping for health and fitness not only stabilizes the nervous system during the exercise period, but continues to help maintain equilibrium after one steps off the device. The result is increased resistance to environmental, physical, emotional, and mental stress. It may possibly help an individual to avoid psychosomatic disease and mental or behavioral instability.

Rebounding may be enjoyed for a lifetime and adjusted to your own particular level of fitness. It is safe, convenient and inexpensive, and its protective effects against degenerative diseases make it one of the most effective forms of motion in the work place, in recreational pursuits, or in simply exercising for the care of your body and mind.

The Physical Muscular Effect of Rebounding

James White, Ph.D., director of research and rehabilitation in the physical education department at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), has explained how jumping for health offers a true physical strengthening effect to the muscles. He said, "Rebounding allows the muscles to go through the full range of motion at equal force. It helps people learn to shift their weight properly and to be aware of body positions and balance."

An advocate of rebounding for athletic conditioning, Dr. White uses the rebounder in his rehabilitation program at UCSD. "When you jump, jog, and twist on this (jumping) device you can exercise for hours without getting tired. It's great practice for skiing, it improves your tennis stroke, and it's a good way to burn off calories and lose weight," said Dr. White (see Table A). "My students tell me it's so much fun that they often exercise on the rebounders for their own enjoyment."

Dr. White added that jumping for health is more effective for fitness and weight loss than cycling, running or jogging (see Table B), and it has the added advantage of producing fewer injuries.

As illustrated and explained in my book, Jumping for Health, there are 33 different exercises that may be performed advantageously on the rebounding device. Eight popular rebound movements are shown below.

The gentle bounce of rebounding is effective in returning natural, regular bowel movements to chronically constipated persons. The steady bounce sets up a pulsating rhythm transmitted by the nervous system to the brain area responsible for regulating the intestinal system, which reestablishes one's rhythmical bowel activity. Digestion is improved as well.

Specifications for the Perfect Rebounder

Depending on the quality, rebounding devices may be relatively low in cost, especially a department store model that's no more than a toy. Bouncing on such poorly-constructed models, usually imported from Asia, may actually be harmful to one's muscles, joints, and nerves. There's no yield to them and the abrupt jarring effect is the same as landing on the floor. My recommendation is that one should avoid purchasing these cheaply priced models.

Rebounding devices can be acquired from sporting goods stores, department stores, by mail order, and in some health food stores. No one manufacturer has a lock on the market for rebounders, but some are better manufactured than others. It's best, perhaps, to purchase your exercise unit directly from the manufacturer. (See Resources.)

Most important for excellent rebounding is the mat material. It should give no stretch during the downward landing, while at the same time providing a resilient rebound. Such a mat will be made from Permatron® material, which has a smooth finish. The Permatron® is resistant to ultraviolet rays, doesn't break down as do other fabrics, and allows no moisture absorption. Part of the specifications for a perfect rebounder is that its mat will be sewn together using 5760 stitches of high-grade nylon thread with two layers of strong polypropylene webbing stitched around the mat's edges.

Attached to a heavy-grade, all steel round frame should be an oversize spring mechanism holding four-inch-long, custom-made jumbo springs which deliver a soft bounce. Thirty-six springs made of quality wire will hold the mat to the frame. The springs should be shielded by a protective cover. Individual spring mounting pins prevent frame wear. Tapered coils help to give extended wearability to such springs. (Untapered coils allow low-quality springs to break frequently, requiring replacement.) Replacement springs must be available directly from the manufacturer since retail distributors seldom stock spare springs.

The spring-loaded legs should fold for easy storage under a bed or behind a door. For a folding rebounder, the frame should fold in half to be packed into its carrying bag, allowing for storage in a car trunk.

To jump for health, rebounding devices that exhibit all of these features of excellence I've been describing are the NEEDAK® Soft-Bounce™ rebounders. They meet all of these specifications for the ideal rebounding device. The stabilizing bar is an optional accessory that is easily attached to the NEEDAK® rebounder.

LEAD FREE?

Concerned by the large number of product recalls involving lead in consumer products?  This isn't the only problem with imports.  Needak has been warning consumers for years about inferior components and workmanship found in Asian imports.  Now the rest of American business is seeing first hand the dangers of relying on Asian manufacturers. 

At Needak, we powder coat our frames with certified lead free powder paints.  The powder coating is heat sealed to the metal of the frame rendering it virtually chip resistant and completely safe for pets and small children.  These paints are so safe that the inert wastes can be landfilled with no chemical treatment or special containers.

You should also be concerned with the odors given off by Asian imports.  We frequently hear from customers about the foul odors eminating from the fabrics used on imported rebounders.  Environmental laws are virtually non-existent in parts of Asia.  Fabrics do not have to be tested for petroleum outgassing or chemical leaching.  Sometimes it seems the motto is, "What can we get away with today!"

"Take What You Get and Don't Throw A Fit!"  Rebounder importers are at the mercy of their overseas assembly plants.  Every order can have a completely different set of suppliers contributing to the assembly.  This is why you see such variation in springs, mats, workmanship, etc.

Thinking about our competition?  The big boys such as ReboundAIR, Cellerciser, Stamina, and Urban Rebounder originate from:

Rebounding: Aerobic Resistive Exercise

by Dr. Tina Wellman, Ph.D, PNE                   

What is the weakest force in the universe and has the most profound effect on the human body? Gravity.  As we age, the relentless pull of gravity causes our body to sag in a southerly direction.  We develop wrinkles, flabby forearms, portly midriffs, vericosities, edemic feet and ankles, stooped shoulders, turkey necks, and compressed spines, to name a few multifarious insults to our body shape.

To compensate for this "G-force" we must continually work against it through body movement. Regular exercise is essential to maintain optimal health.  Apiarian Royden Brown noted, "It has been scientifically documented that exercising regularly increases longevity and enhanced quality of life."1  The proverbial expression "either use it or lose it" applies to the body's need for daily exercise as well as to maintain musculoskeletal strength, immunity, and psychobiological balance.  The best nutrition in the world cannot sustain us if our circulation is stagnant and we do not receive oxygen-rich blood to our body's three trillion cells.2

G-force--Gravitational Force:

    Gravitational force is key to understanding resistive rebounding's health benefits.  By combining the forces of acceleration and deceleration, body cells are tricked into believing they are being subjected to increased gravity.3  NASA clearly demonstrated the virtues of rebounding when they designed an exercise protocol in the zero gravity of space.  Loss of bone density and muscle mass are the negative results incurred to astronauts soaring through the cosmos at zero gravity.  Scientific blood analysis that included subjecting weakened blood cells (of returning astronauts) to increased G-force evidenced an increase in cellular strength.  It is this increase in G-force during rebounding (specifically during deceleration) that challenges body cells to strengthen.4

An Exercise for all Ages:

Rebounding knows no social boundaries and has no age limitations.  Exercise guru Jack LaLanne often demonstrated rebounding on his popular T.V. exercise program.  Comedian Bob Hope once noted "I keep my rebounder at the foot of my bed and use it daily."  Morning talk show host Regis Philbin enjoyed a rebounding session during one of his interviews with fitness expert and nutritionist to the stars, Rheo Blair, on his  1970's  "A.M. Los Angeles" television program.  A rebounder even found its way into the White House during the Reagan administration!

Virtues of Rebounding:

"Rebounding,"  or jumping on a mini trampoline has universal exercise appeal and a plethora of health benefits.  The repetitive rhythmic motion of bouncing on a mini trampoline provides a zero impact simple exercise method with high impact long term (mental and physical) health benefits that extend from youth to old age:

   1. Rebounding is 68% more efficient than jogging (as noted by NASA in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology)!5
 
  2. Improves digestion and elimination of cellular waste.
 
  3. Accelerates metabolism to burn calories for weight control.6
 
  4. Increases oxygen uptake and promotes detoxification via the lungs, skin, and lymph.
 
  5. Has a natural analgesic effect on the body, relieving pain in the neck, back, and head by increasing circulation and oxygen flow.7
 
  6. Lowers blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol naturally by increasing oxygenation and dilating the blood vessels for smoother and easier blood flow.8
 
  7. Improves circulatory disorders by increasing cellular respiration.
 
  8. Promotes regular elimination. Exercise is known to increase metabolism and relieve constipation.
 
  9. Has a stabilizing effect on the nervous system thereby reducing stress. Rebound exercising increases endorphin output, thereby promoting the relaxation response.  Increased oxygen flow increases our sense of well being without the toxic side effects of narcotics or anti-depressants.
 
10. An excellent precursor to sports training, including golf, tennis, skiing, skating, mountain climbing, and kick boxing, "without" incurring joint trauma.
 
11. Promotes physical and mental efficiency (and stability) by increasing oxygen levels and decreasing toxicity (heavy metals and cellular waste).
 
12. Provides "no impact" aerobics, especially helpful for those that are handicapped, arthritic, elderly, or immune compromised with limited mobility.
 
13. An optimal exercise method for pregnant women to stay in shape without incurring musculoskeletal trauma.
 
14. Provides aerobic exercise without incurring stress to the joints.
 
15. An ideal method for teaching youngsters coordination and balance while encouraging physical fitness.
 
16. A superior exercise for those that are immune compromised including cancer and MS. Rebounding stimulates healing and cleansing. Rebound author and lecturer Linda Brooks notes rebounding 2 minutes every hour "is the ideal protocol for defense against cancer. In just two minutes the entire lymphatic system is flushed," and and white blood cell  count nearly triples, providing a greater defense system to destroy cancer cells.9
 
17. A year round exercise that can be performed indoors or outdoors and is easily portable to provide exercise on the go for those that travel.  Great for stay at home moms, home business owners, or office executives who can all easily store a fold up rebounder in a nearby room for easy access and convenience.
 
18. Has a "triple E" rating--economical, efficient, and effective. A single rebounder can provide years of daily exercise. It is convenient for those that are homebound, unable to jog or access a gym. It is readily portable (folds and fits into its own travel case) and stores neatly out of the way. Great for apartment, home, trailer dwellers or travelers. One can rebound year round -- indoors or outdoors, rain or shine. Six minutes of rebounding equals one mile of jogging. One can run several miles in place while rehearsing a speech, singing, talking on the phone, watching T.V., listening to music, or while jumping outdoors enjoying "helio" or sun therapy.
 
19. Will not incur repetitive motion injuries.
 
20. An optional stabilizing bar makes this rebounder even more secure for those unsteady on their feet or having disabilities requiring a bar to hold onto while bouncing.10
 
22. Excellent for toddlers. Movement affects balance. Rebounding has a positive affect on stabilizing right and left hemispheric brain balance.
 
23. Has positive implications for improving the mind/body connection, especially for Learning Disabled Children exhibiting a poor sense of rhythm, coordination, and balance. Medical journalist Dr. Morton Walker notes, when you move and exercise, you engage every brain and body cell.  This has a profound and positive impact on stimulating neural activity.11
 
24. The father of modern aerobics exercise, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, discovered that alternating aerobic exercise with weight training actually increased strength.  His Institute of Aerobic Research documented the strength gains from resistive rebounding in 1981.

Selecting the Ideal Rebounder:

Price point, aside from durable materials and construction, is a common denominator when selecting exercise equipment.  Knock off "toy" rebounders are readily available market wide.  If you are truly rebounding for health, selecting a high quality mini trampoline that will enable you to "jump the extra mile" in comfort and that meets high quality manufacturing standards is paramount.  Needak® Mfg. of O'Neill, Nebraska is the only USA-based manufacturer of "Soft-Bounce™" rebounders.  Since its inception in 1990, Needak® prides itself in setting the gold standard as the premiere mini trampoline manufacturer in the industry maintaining quality control from design to finished product.12
 

Needak®'s "Soft-Bounce™" rebounder weighs 25 pounds and includes three main components:  A mat, a set of springs, and a frame.  A tightly woven stretch and UV resistant  "Permatron®" matting is mounted on a 40-inch diameter heavy gauge steel round shaped platform that provides the framework needed to support a Soft-Bounce™ comfortable jump.  This unique design (as opposed to square or octagon shape) provides uniform stress upon all components--mat, springs, and frame.  Needak®'s barrel shape springs absorb an estimated 85% impact per bounce.  This feature is in stark contrast to low end, imported, mini trampolines constructed with shorter springs that are significantly more rigid.  Obviously age, and wear and tear, will eventually cause any metal spring to succumb to breakage.  However, choosing durable materials at the outset provides for longer active life before spring replacement becomes necessary.13
 

Needak®'s hinge design is virtually indestructible and includes spring-loaded legs which complement their "half-fold" system (carrying bag included) that provides for easy portability (to hotels,  in a trailer, or in a car trunk) or storage (in a closet or under a bed).  An optional stabilizing bar can be secured to the trampoline frame for seniors and those with injuries or health issues that require additional support.

On initial inspection, one might conclude that aerobic resistive rebounding restricts the exerciser to bouncing in place.  However, resistive rebounding instructor, author, and lecturer, Linda Brooks quickly enlightens us on rebounding's diverse applications including strength training and toning the abdomen.  Needak® offers a wealth of videos and books including Linda Brook's library of rebounding techniques and health benefits for a diverse audience.  These learning aids even address issues involving degenerative illnesses and cancer.14.

 Additionally, Olympic fitness trainers Dr. & Mrs. H. Sneider (owners of Sneider's Fitness Center in Pasadena, CA) illustrate a comprehensive fitness program in their book  "Olympic Trainer". The Sneiders encourage using sand bag weights for building upper arm strength and endurance.15

Rebounding is no stranger to the greater health community. Exercise personality Joanie Greggains notes the importance of rebounding as an effective way to stimulate the lymph system in her upcoming book "The Fat Flush Fitness Plan" (McGraw-Hill) due out next January. Greggains' exercise compendium complements Ann Louise Gittleman's (PhD, CNS) popular "Fat Flush Plan," which advocates  rebounding as part of her regimen for maintaining health and a svelte physique.

Reflections for long-term health:

As children we are inherently inclined to move from a young age...we crawl, walk, run, and jump.  As we transition from childhood to adulthood we exchange our active and mobile lifestyle for a sedentary and immobile one, where our daily exercise routine is restricted to clicking a computer mouse or the remote control, or depressing the microwave keypad to heat up a prepackaged dinner.  We sit at our desk, on our couch, in our car, on a train, in a plane, and expend brain energy without physical movement.  Then we wonder why we experience intermittent brain fog and increasing weight gain in unwanted places.

In our high tech society where everything around us is increasingly automated and demands less physical effort, our lack of movement is increasing our health risks (and abdominal girth!) while negatively affecting our mental acumen.  We require high levels of oxygen to think clearly--something sitting cannot accomplish.  Movement is vital to circulate the blood that carries oxygen to the brain. The moral:  Keep active and take advantage of a simple non-toxic method of exercising that is easy on the budget and beneficial to the entire body.

Given our nation's health crisis includes cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, let's find the time to take a few minutes each day to improve our health.  What a difference those few moments make in providing us with improved mental and physical well being.  Otherwise, we will have to resort to toxic measures to "treat" failing health conditions which could be avoided by taking some preventative measures like rebounding.  Why take blood thinners and blood pressure pills when we can avoid the problem by encouraging good circulation?

We all learn what we live as children.  Isn't it time to set the pace for the next generation and encourage everyone to preserve their youthful health, vim, and vigor?  Why not make our next "coffee break" a time to jump for health and well being?  Let us all "reverse gravity" by exercising daily.

Testimonials

Thanks very much for the rebounder. Your advice was appreciated, and we are all enjoying it!
The book is really great, too.
Many thanks again,
TR, Acton, MA

First - we love the Needak Rebounder!  Even my husband is using it now. And his 80 year old mother just loves hers and uses it several times a day (she loves the stabilizer bar). I am thrilled that I am finding the pains in my knees are much better using the rebounder - I'm not sure why (extra lubrication from rebounding?)  but I'm not complaining! :-)

The main reason I am writing, however, is that I have several people interested in the Needak Rebounder who are thinking of getting them as Christmas presents. They think I'm your representative because I'm so enthused about the rebounder and have been passing around the video and the article! They're surprised when I say no, just a happy customer.

“I was recently diagnosed with MS. I changed my diet and exercise with the rebounder 1 to 3 times a day. I have lost 15 pounds and everyone says I look so healthy. I feel that the rebounder has given me strength. I have my 66 year old mom using it, and I even put my one year old daughter on it – she loves it!”
L.D., TV Writer/Producer, Amity Harbor, NY

I received my rebounder on the second day. Yeeeeeeeeeh!     It was simple to set up. I certainly enjoy rebounding. My brain associates positive with it. I even did it when I felt tired at the end of the day.

Last week I had the opportunity to visit my sister-in-law who lives in California.  She knew I had purchased a Needak previously.  She purchased an inexpensive copy.  Upon examining her unit I could tell it was not made of steel, but some metal alloy. The mat material was not Permatron.  I thought that, "You get only what you pay for," and I was even more pleased that I originally had purchased a Needak product.  A good friend once told me that, "Anything worth having is worth working [and paying] for."  I am very happy with my unit.

 “I had bone spurs on both my heels for about 15 years and needed arches in my shoes so I could walk comfortably. I also had a calcium build up on my fifth vertebrate in my back. After using the rebounder for only three weeks – my spurs had totally disappeared; my neck took a little longer. I have now had my rebounder for over 4 years and enjoy using it everyday. Again, a big THANK YOU! - H.M., Edmonton, Canada

I received the rebounder two days ago - it is wonderful. I want to thank you for your prompt attention and the video you selected is excellent. Thanks again

 “I keep my rebounder at the foot of my bed and use it daily.” - Bob Hope

 “The rebounder is great! I lost 8 lbs and beat my 6’3’’, 180lb boyfriend at arm wrestling after only 2 months of use! Then he started bouncing and his masseuse asked him, ‘I know you’ve been working out for 2 years -  what have you been doing the past week?’ She actually felt the difference in his muscles!” - B.L. New York, NY

 “Rebounding exercise is the best exercise in the world! Now that I’ve tried rebounding, I have progressed more in 2-3 months than in 3 years on the Nordic Track. My primary exercise, and the one I now recommend to my patients, especially for upper body shaping and toning, overall cell exercise and health, and just plain fun, will now be the rebounder.” - Dr. R.P., Nashville, TN

Hi,
Just thought I'd let you know that I received my Needak rebounder yesterday, less than a week after I placed the order. Thanks for the great service.

 We have had the Needak® Soft-Bounce™ for about two weeks or so. My wife’s pain in her hips and arms has completely disappeared. - A.L., Cave Junetson, OR

 “My wife and I learned of your rebounding product approximately two years ago, and have been using it ever since. First one unit, then two -  then three units. We keep them handy on all floors of the house and find its convenience exceeds by a factor of ten any other exercise product. Just by doing ten minutes in the morning, or even five, or even three minutes while watching the news and weather, you are awake and feeling just great. No other exercise can offer that. Then for the evening pickup, after a long day, again – the recirculation of the blood facilitated by your rebounder cannot be achieved in any other exercise procedure or equipment that we are aware of, and we have tried them all. The rebounder speeds up metabolism and thereby burns calories faster and serves as a weight control device which has no equal. I simply cannot praise the concept and your particular product line more highly.” - L.P., Publisher Ohio, USA and Zurich Switzerland
