Trampolines are rehabilitative methods that can enhance one's ability to stimulate and balance inherent capacities, which have a significant effect on sensory organs, nervous system, and physical strength.
In this study, 45 healthy subjects were recruited. Subjects were randomly assigned to walking, tiptoeing, or jumping groups. Each group of trampoline interventions was performed for 10 minutes. In all three groups, balance and proprioceptive sensory tests were performed before exercise, immediately after exercise, and 5 and 10 minutes after exercise.
There was a significant difference in SI data between pre-and post-intervention (p<0.05). According to the SI results in the NO condition, the stability was reduced immediately after exercise and restored after 5 minutes in all groups (p<0.05). According to SI results in NC condition, there was a significant difference between immediately after exercise and after 5 minutes in all groups (p<0.05).
Trampolines are effective for posture stability. A rest time of 5 minutes is required to restore posture stability after trampoline exercise.
