33 Ways the Body Responds to Rebounding

By Dr. Morton and Albert E.

from http://www.healthbounce.com/33ways.htm

The study of the human body is fairly interesting. The moment it becomes no

less than amazing is when we understand what happens as the body is placed

under the demands of movement and resistance we call exercise. 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. In fact, there are at least 33 fascinating

ways the body responds to regular rebounding, detailed below:

1. Rebounding provides an increased G-force (gravitational load),

which strengthens the musculoskeletal systems.

2. Rebounding protects the joints from the chronic fatigue delivered

by exercising on hard surfaces.

3. Rebounding helps manage body composition and improves muscle-to-fat

ratio.

4. Rebounding increases capacity for respiration.

5. Rebounding circulates more oxygen to the tissues.

6. Rebounding establishes a better equilibrium between the oxygen

required by the tissues and the oxygen made available.

7. Rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions

of one-way valves in the lymphatic system.

8. Rebounding tends to reduce the height to which the arterial

pressures rise during exertion.

9. Rebounding lessens the time during which blood pressure remains

abnormal after severe activity.

10. Rebounding assists in the rehabilitation of a heart problem.

11. Rebounding increases the functional activity of the red bone marrow in

the production of red blood cells.

12. Rebounding improves resting metabolic rate so that more calories are

burned for hours after exercise.

13. Rebounding causes muscles to perform work in moving fluids through the

body to lighten the heart's load.

14. Rebounding decreases the volume of blood pooling in the veins of the

cardiovascular system preventing chronic edema.

15. Rebounding encourages collateral circulation by increasing the

capillary count in the muscles and decreasing the distance between the

capillaries and the target cells.

16. Rebounding strengthens the heart and other muscles in the body so that

they work more efficiently.

17. Rebounding allows the resting heart to beat less often.

18. Rebounding lowers circulating cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

19. Rebounding lowers low-density lipoprotein (bad) in the blood and

increases high-density lipoprotein (good) holding off the incidence of

coronary artery disease.

20. Rebounding promotes tissue repair.

21. Rebounding for longer than 20 minutes at a moderate intensity

increases the mitochondria count within the muscle cells, essential for

endurance.

22. Rebounding adds to the alkaline reserve of the body, which may be of

significance in an emergency requiring prolonged effort.

23. Rebounding 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.

24. Rebounding improves the brain's responsiveness to the vestibular

apparatus within the inner ear, thus improving balance.

25. Rebounding offers relief from neck and back pains, headaches, and

other pain caused by lack of exercise.

26. Rebounding enhances digestion and elimination processes.

27. Rebounding allows for deeper and easier relaxation and sleep.

28. Rebounding results in better mental performance, with keener learning

processes.

29. Rebounding curtails fatigue and menstrual discomfort for women.

30. Rebounding minimizes the number of colds, allergies, digestive

disturbances, and abdominal problems.

31. Rebounding tends to slow down atrophy in the aging process.

32. Rebounding is an effective modality by which the user gains a sense of

control and an improved self image.

33. Rebounding is enjoyable!

People who rebound find they are 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 effectively stimulates the

lymphatic system without trauma to the musculoskeletal system. This unique

discovery is central to the reasons Rebounding has become one of the most

beneficial forms of exercise ever developed.
