Jane G. Goldberg, PhD wrote a very understandable article about rebounding and how it positively affects your body.
Rebounding is unique as an aerobic exercise because it stimulates, strengthens, and cleanses every cell in the body. This because it uses vertical motion, rather than the horizontal motion that is used in all other forms of exercise. When you bounce up and down, your entire body goes through repetitive vertical acceleration and deceleration, working against gravity. At the bottom of every bounce, your entire body stops for a split second. At this moment, the force of gravity shoves down on every cell in our body. Then your body shoots back upward, again you are stopping for just a split instant. This your moment in space; for this instant, you are weightless and gravity-less. Because of the repetitive pushing and pulling on all your cells, the tissues and fibers and muscles in your body all grow stronger. Also, flushing out metabolic waste is increased by 300 percent by rebounding. The compression/decompression of cell membranes that occurs in rebounding significantly boosts the diffusion of fluid into and out of the cells, carrying in fresh oxygen and nutrients and flushing out the toxins. Rebounding can also substantially boost the immune system by increasing the activity of lymphocytes within the bloodstream. There is literally no other form of exercise that has the same capacity for total cellular cleansing.
