Abstract (eng)
In recent years the trampoline has increasingly developed into a popular sports and leisure device for children and adults. It is used at home and in trampoline parks as well as
in the fitness area. Beside the disadvantages of trampoline use, there are also numerous
health benefits. The aim of this systematic review is to use scientific studies to compare
the health benefits and risks of different types of trampolines and to illustrate the possible
use in various areas.
Methodology:
This systematic review is based on the PRISMA model. By means of certain key words,
two independent literature searches on the benefits and risks of trampoline training were
carried out in the online databases PubMed and Web of Science and a total of 533 and
407 data sets were identified. Finally, 9 studies on the benefits and 5 studies on the risks
of trampoline training were included to answer the research questions.
Results:
While the advantages of trampoline training are connected to the fitness trampoline, the
disadvantages are associated with the recreational and competition trampoline. Training
on the trampoline benefits factors such as body weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, coordination, balance and stability, bone building, general fitness and mental health. On the
other hand, the use of the recreational and competition trampoline often leads to injuries
such as fractures and sprains of the lower extremities. Due to its numerous benefits, it is
recommended to use the fitness trampoline therapeutically in the health sector.
Conclusion: Training on the fitness trampoline is health-promoting, while the use of the
recreational trampoline is often associated with injuries.
