Kangaroo: the trampoline entertainment system for aiding exercise

Published:03 December 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Trampobics is an aerobics training method using a mini trampoline. It substantially decreases damage to the joints compared with aerobics on the floor. The benefits of trampobics include an improvement in balance, more active internal organs, and burning of fat. Thus, trampobics promotes a healthy posture[1][2]. Today some people engage in trampobics in trampobics class. However, it is not gaining in popularity. In this paper, we add visual effects to trampobics and aim to make it more engaging to the general public.
