In contrast, a more relaxed posture leads to loss of energy and jumping resilience. Begin with the basic jumps and jumping positions and only increase comlexity when mastered. To come to a stop position when jumping, bend knees when your feet touch the mat.

• Always jump in the middle of the mat. Avoid jumping on mat edge and trampoline padding.

• Learn fundamental bounces and body positions thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A variety of jumping techniques can be carried out solo or in series and/or combinations between bounces.

• Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping control with proper landing position in middle of mat. From a safety perspective, control is more important than height.

• To ensure and maintain control while jumping, ensure jumping posture is straight, head is in upright position and eyes are focused on the jump mat.11 BERG InGround Favorit
