Regular exercise, good sleep and a healthy diet are important pillars for a healthy body. Exercises that are based on jumping are a great way to help you stay fit, active and in good shape. Jumping is regarded as a type of anaerobic exercise because it involves quick bursts of energy for which your body does not rely on oxygen delivery alone. Because a lot of quick energy supply has to be delivered while jumping, your body digs into the stored energy also. Other anaerobic exercises include sprinting, heavy weightlifting and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
Benefits of Jumping
Jumping is safe and healthy for kids who are between the ages of two and eight. Some of the major benefits include:
- Stronger core muscles
Jumping involves all the core muscles of the body as they are used in jumping and landing. Jumping on a bouncy surface such as a trampoline or mat in an indoor home gym has less stress on muscles and joints. Jumping allows flexibility and allows joints and muscles to bend and move with ease.
- Healthier heart
Jumping is great cardio because it increases your pulse rate and ensures oxygen is pumped more efficiently around the body, leaving the child more alert and healthier.
- Better metabolic rates
Research has shown that jumping increases a child’s metabolic rate, helping the child’s body to process nutrients faster and more efficiently, keeping their weight healthy.
- Better coordination
Both sides of a child’s brain and body work in tandem to maintain good coordination and balance. Jumping greatly improves a child’s motor skills and hand, eye coordination.
- Maintain proper weight
Sedentary lifestyles have made more children become overweight from eating junk food and spending too much time in front of the TV and playing video games. Jumping is a great way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight for kids who are overweight. Jumping means a leaner body and more flexibility.
- Better mental health
Kids who get time to jump are happier and healthier, thus they have better mental health. Jumping gives a child better circulation and clean oxygen is pumped into your brain, making a child more alert, healthier, happier, and boosts self-esteem.
- Expends energy
Energetic children can wear you out very fast and getting them to take a nap is a nightmare. The key to all this excess energy is to get the kids to jump around until they get exhausted. Getting them to nap after expending all this energy will be much easier.
- Dealing with low energy levels
Children who are introverted also benefit from jumping. It is a fun activity that requires little effort and allows them to have fun without feeling the pressure to socialize.
