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
and flex knees when your feet touch the mat.
Learn this skill before attempting others.
Learn fundamental bounces and body positions
thoroughly before trying more advanced skills. A
variety of jumping techniques can be carried out
solo or in series and/or combinations between
bounces.
Avoid bouncing too high. First obtain jumping
control with proper landing position in middle of

important than height.
To ensure and maintain control while jumping,
ensure jumping posture is straight, head is in
upright position and eyes are focused on the jump
