The term 'rebounding' refers to a type of jumping movement in which one can achieve a weightless state at the top of each jump, and then land with twice the force of gravity on every bounce. This 'twice-gravity' bounce works to strengthen every muscle and cell of the body. 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 was most commonly done on a trampoline, but with the creation of the Airbounder, rebounding can be performed just as (if not more) effectively on a stable, solid and adjustable surface. Rebounding can:
|
Protect and strengthen the thymus gland: The thymus gland is responsible for controlling the immune system and produces enzymes that govern the production of white blood cells. It weighs 200-250 grams at birth, yet normally begins to shrink at puberty and shrivels to only 3 grams by age 60, losing 90% of its effectiveness! Rebounding exercise will protect and strengthen this vital gland along with every other single cell in the body.

Boost the lymphatic and immune system. Rebounding allows the lymphatic channels to be put under hydraulic pressure and helps move fluids containing waste products of metabolism around and out of the body through the left subclavian vein.
