When Ron Holland, CMT and Jana Beutler Holland, M.Ed., personal trainers and co-owners of SWAT Personal Training in Tucson, Arizona, discovered AEROBALL and the physical fitness benefits of regular rebounding on trampoline surfaces, they opened AEROBALL Sports in Tucson, and used the sport not only to introduce amateur athletes and young people to aeroball, but have also used the courts as an adjunct fitness training tool for their personal training clients. “AEROBALL Sports is the perfect venue to introduce people, especially inactive children and adults, to a fun fitness modality that doesn’t feel like exercise,” says Jana Beutler Holland, who has a Masters Degree in Educational Psychology and Counseling. “With the epidemic of childhood obesity getting worse, we, as adults, have an obligation to teach children about the benefits—and the necessity—of getting regular exercise and eating properly. AEROBALL introduces a FUN way to incorporate activity into otherwise sedentary lives,” she says. The act of bouncing (rebounding) on an unstable surface has long been recognized as an excellent source of cardiovascular exercise. Not only is rebounding more gentle on the joints and the musculoskeletal system than running, but it is known to improve sleep, reduce tension, and increase strength and endurance. Dr. Morton Walker and Albert E. Carter state, “Rebounding is an effective exercise that reduces your body fat; firms your arms, legs, thighs, abdomen, and hips; increases your agility; strengthens your muscles overall; provides an aerobic effect for your cardiopulmonary systems; rejuvenates your body when it's tired, and generally puts you in a state of mental and physical wellness.” When you are playing AEROBALL, you are working against constant gravitational pressure. The resistance is subtle, but it builds cellular strength. When you hit the trampoline bed, you land with twice the force of gravity. The alternating weightlessness and double gravity produce a pumping action which pulls out waste products from the cells and forces oxygen and nutrition from the bloodstream into them. Researchers at the University of Kentucky, in conjunction with NASA, concluded that "the magnitude of the biomechanical stimuli is greater with jumping on a trampoline than with running." Rebounding specifically stimulates the flow of lymph fluid. The change in gravitational forces experienced during rebounding allows for greater blood flow, which in turn increases the amount of waste products flushed from cells. 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.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. Playing AEROBALL also: provides an increased G-force (gravitational load), which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system acts as your body's internal vacuum cleaner. circulates more oxygen to the tissues- and where the is oxygen there cannot be disease. increases capacity for respiration helps fluid move easily within the body, thus helping muscle performance and lightening the load required of the heart. improves coordination between the propreoceptors in the joints, the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain, transmission of nerve impulses and responsiveness of the muscle fibers. Improves the brain’s responsiveness to the vestibular apparatus within the inner ear, thus improving balance More specifically, playing AEROBALL is MORE effective than merely bouncing on a mini-trampoline, because not only are you getting rebounding benefits, but you are also utilizing muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, forearms, calves, and quadriceps with the throwing-action of the ball. And the sports-conditioning benefits are not the only benefits. With regular play, you can improve balance, coordination, aerial equilibrium, peripheral vision, timing, and vertical jump. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a sports enthusiast, or just someone who likes a physical challenge, AEROBALL has something to offer you! |
