Mini trampolines: types, their characteristics and tips for choosing

Sports trampolines are used to perform different types of jumps. Sports simulators of this group can be used by both athletes for training and children for ordinary entertainment.

In general, regardless of the task of using, the gymnastic trampoline makes it possible to assist in maintaining good physical shape, qualitatively work out the sectors of the external and internal muscle tissue, making the psychoemotional state more stable, strengthening the immune system.

There are different types of trampolines.

• Professional - especially resistant to overloads, with a long service life, but this is an expensive option. They are practiced with the aim of working out high jumps, performing a variety of acrobatic elements. They are a rather bulky device, in most cases of rectangular configuration.
• Sports trampolines are installations with a generally rounded configuration. The diameter of such simulators can be from 1 to 5 meters. Due to their relatively moderate size, they are often mounted on the street. In this regard, they are made from raw materials that are resistant to environmental influences.

• Mini trampolines can be used for fitness at home. Provided for users of the weight category not exceeding 100 kilograms. They have a diameter of no more than 150 centimeters, which is practically enough to work out key muscle groups in a rather cramped environment. Often equipped with a support handle.

• Children's tension trampolines - these are not very large arenas, surrounded by a net that protects children from unexpected injuries. These simulators are a wonderful way of rest for overly mobile, energetic children.
• Play inflatable trampolines stand out for their low "jumping ability" in comparison with professional and sports settings. Such modifications do not provide an opportunity to polish techniques, but nevertheless they become an impeccable solution for dynamic leisure.

Mini trampolines have been designed exclusively for indoor use. That is why you have the opportunity, without hesitation, to put this sports equipment in your living space, even though you have a low ceiling height. If you are planning to buy a mini-trampoline so that you can go outdoors with it in the future, then you need to pay attention to a folding mini-trampoline, which you can easily fold and attach in the trunk of your car.

When looking for a mini trampoline, mainly pay attention to the frame, which must necessarily be electroplated. Due to this, the trampoline will be resistant to the effects of any atmospheric phenomena - and, therefore, will serve you much longer.

However, it should be borne in mind that the cost of such a projectile will be quite high.But if you intend to use a trampoline exclusively at home, then pay attention to more inexpensive modifications of trampolines. For the manufacture of the frame in this case, galvanized ferrous metal is used, which, of course, at home, is sufficient metal protection against corrosion. These trampolines can only be practiced in a home., since galvanizing is a weak means of protection against street humidity, atmospheric precipitation and other aggressive substances.

The next point to consider is the size of the projectile. If you are going to use it outdoors, then there should be almost no difficulties with dimensions.

A complete equipment is equipped with the following items and equipment.

• Protective mesh... Quite high, it is installed along the contour of the projectile and is intended to prevent falling out of its border. I must say that such a remedy is not a complete guarantee and does not exempt from the need to be prudent. Be that as it may, it significantly reduces the likelihood of "flying over the side". When a product is bought for children, the presence of a net in the set is a must. If it is not included in the kit, then you should look for another model.
• Support handle... For it, the person present on the projectile can adhere to during the jumps. This option is very much in demand in fitness modifications, as it simplifies the implementation of certain specific exercises. In addition, a trampoline equipped with a handle may come in handy for beginners who have not yet had experience in jumping on a trampoline, as an additional safety net.

• Ladder... A not very large ladder makes it easier to climb to the working plane of the projectile. This plane can be at a height of several tens of centimeters, which can create severe discomfort for individual users (in particular, children). Of course, for the comfort of the ascent, you can resort to home-made devices (for example, build "steps" from a couple of boxes of different heights), only a complete ladder will be more comfortable, more compact, and often safer than a home-made one.
• Protective mat... When choosing a trampoline, find out if a protective mat is included in the package, which prevents the legs and arms from slipping into the spring structure. The material must be resistant to wear and tear, because it is in regular contact with metal. It's good when the bottom is made of laminated thermoplastic polypropylene and the top is made of water-repellent polyester fabric.

What do you need to pay special attention to when choosing a sports equipment? Of course, on the material from which it is made. In the case of pumped modifications, the main aspect is mass per unit area. The higher this value is, the more reliable and durable the structure is. For the spring type of shells, the density of the material is important, for which the permatron and polypropylene are used. Such materials are resistant to direct sunlight and other factors, therefore, they are suitable even for outdoor samples.

As for the frame, it must be very strong, since the safety of the device directly depends on this. The frame is mainly made of high quality steel. For the operation of the projectile by adults, it is very important that the frame of this installation be at least 2 millimeters thick and withstand a mass of 100 kilograms. For children and teenagers, this value can be approximately 1.5 millimeters, and the load for which the device is designed, up to 70 kilograms.

It remains to answer the question of where to buy sports equipment. At the moment, there are many specialty stores, including the Internet, most of which provide favorable conditions. When choosing a place of purchase, you should pay attention to the reliability of the merchant., the existence of a quality certificate for the product that attracted you. This will save you from purchasing a poor-quality shell and protect you personally and your family.

If you look at the reviews of people who bought this sports equipment, then for the most part they are positive, regardless of the modification and manufacturer.

Trampolines are an excellent substitute for expensive exercise equipment. It is fun and harmless to train on them. Movement for gaining normal physical activity does not require special skills. This is a great way to cardio, it makes it possible to improve not only physical fitness, but also mood. A competent choice of modification will make training without the risk of injury.
