Jumping instructions
When using a BERG Trampoline, it is essential
that the correct posture is assumed. The correct
posture and balance are obtained by tightening
the right muscles, making it possible to practise
trampolining safely.
Good posture ensures safe usage of the BERG
trampoline. When jumping, the body is exposed to
shocks that require correct absorption. By tensing
your muscles, you obtain better control over your
balance and this results in more the jumping
resilience. 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 complexity when mastered.
To come to a stop position when jumping, bend
knees when your feet touch the mat.
To come to a stop position when jumping, bend
