Learning Jumps - Kangui PUNCHI 300 Instrucciones De Montaje

5) LEARNING JUMPS

Users must always respect the following instructions :
• When using the trampoline for the first time, users must concentrate on learning how to control jumps rather
than on their height.
• When the jump is well controlled, users will land at the point from which they took off. This point must be the
centre of the trampoline.
• When learning, users must practice and improve the basic techniques and never attempt a more difficult
exercise until they have mastered all the exercises learned previously.
• As a safety measure, they must first learn how to decelerate and stop the bounce. Users must learn how to stop
the jump as soon as they start to lose control, by bending the knees when landing.
• Trampoline users must be in good physical condition. They must jump for a relatively short time and remember
to take a break. Jumping for too long increases the risk of injury.
• Beginners must wear suitable protective clothing such as T-shirts and long trousers to protect the elbow and
knees, until they have learned how to correctly control their jumps. Never wear shoes, which would result in
rapid wear of the trampoline.
• For more information or to obtain a suitable exercise program, contact a trampoline instructor.
STRAIGHT JUMP
1) Stand in the centre of the jumping mat, arms
by the sides, feet slightly apart. Look towards the
edge of the jumping mat.
2) Start to jump, using the arms in a circular
movement to gain momentum. The arms must
never be above the shoulders or behind the back.
3) At mid-height, point the toes downwards. On
landing on the jumping mat, the feet are flat and
slightly apart.
PIKE JUMP
Jump made as in standing position, but at the top
of the jump bring the legs up keeping the knees
together and toes pointing forward. Coming down,
lower the legs to land upright on the feet.

BASIC JUMPS
SEAT DROP
1) Sit in the centre of the jumping mat, legs
slightly apart, hands placed on the mat each side
of the body. Lean slightly forward.
2) Push with the hands to make little jumps while
seated.
3) Using the momentum built up, lean forward
and press with the hands to return to standing
position.
STRADDLE JUMP
Jump made as for the pike, but this time with the
legs as far apart as possible. Try to reach your
ears!
BACK DROP
1) Lie on the back on the jumping mat. Spread the
legs slightly and raise them to about 45 degrees
as shown on the illustration. Raise the arms at
the same angle and lift the head, eyes looking
towards the edge of the trampoline.
2) Carefully make small jumps, always looking
towards the edge of the trampoline. There should
be more weight on the shoulders than on the hips.
TUCK JUMP
Jump made as in standing position, but at the top
of the jump bring the knees up to the chest and
catch them with the arms. Then release the legs
and land upright on the feet.
