A.  Child obesity is a growing concern

What is obesity?
An obese child means their body weight is 20% higher than the ideal weight for a child of their age and height.

How common is obesity and overweight?
Researchers estimate that 15% of children in the U.S . are overweight.  Obesity is common enough among children that we can consider obesity as an epidemic.  Studies have shown a dramatic increase in number of obese children in the last few decades in the U.S.  Between 1980 and 2000, obesity rates have doubled amongst children and tripled amongst teens.

B.  Doctor's Recommendation

"To increase metabolism, strengthen weak muscles and joints, increase cellular oxygenation, improve on endurance and stamina, and detoxify and cleanse the lymphatic system, I recommend my patients to bounce on their trampolines at least 10-15 minutes per day. " -Dr. Jennifer McCullough

 There are many ways to get fit and tackle the issue of childhood obesity but many will be met with resistance by the children themselves. With trampolines, however, the children will invariably consider these a fun piece of apparatus and, in most circumstances, won’t even realise the positive health implications that trampolines can have. This can be crucial in ensuring that children keep up with the exercise routines that can help them tackle obesity.

C.  Trampolines – The Calorie Crunch

Obesity and being overweight in general is as a result of inadequate break down of calories in the body. Of course, the most successful way to burn calories is to take part in sustained, rigorous and competitive sport but this proposition is often unappealing to children. Essentially, this will create a catch 22 situation where the child is overweight because they don’t exercise and they don’t exercise because they’re overweight. This is where trampolines enter the fray and have had great success in tackling childhood obesity. Trampolines are an excellent means of burning calories and reducing weight and as they are a solitary pursuit and can be used in the privacy of home, they are the ideal solution for obese children who may be self conscious about their weight. Just some of the benefits trampolines can have on an obese child’s health include:

• Increase blood flow and lessen the chance of heart problems
• Burn calories and tackle the cause of obesity
• Stimulate the metabolism and digestive process
• Aids lymphatic circulation
• Reduces levels of cholesterol and triglycerides

D.  Trampolines – Detoxing The Body And Tackling Obesity

Research into the health benefits of trampolines have discovered that the G-force that is exerted during bouncing sessions on trampolines helps to “push out” toxins. It is suggested that during the period that you are airborne, the lower cell pressure permits an influx of nutrients and oxygen thus improving cell exercise. Trampolines are not only a fun means of exercise but they may well hold a trump card in the battle to end childhood obesity.
