minitrampolines

Minitrampolines, or mini trampolines, are compact trampolines used for recreation, fitness, and training. The jumping surface is typically around 1 meter in diameter, though sizes vary by model. They are smaller than standard trampolines and are commonly used indoors for personal exercise or for children under supervision.

Construction and design: A minitrampoline consists of a steel or alloy frame with legs, a jumping mat attached by springs or elastic cords, and a protective pad around the frame. Some models are foldable or come with handles for balance. Jumping surfaces are made of reinforced fabric or vinyl; padding reduces the risk of contact with moving parts.

Uses: Minitrampolines are used for light cardiovascular exercise, balance and coordination training, and rehabilitation. They are also used by gymnasts and dancers to rehearse takeoffs and landings on a smaller surface, and by schools and fitness facilities for energetic activities in limited spaces.

Safety: Use on a flat, non-slip surface, and supervise children. Regularly inspect springs, cords, and padding for wear, and follow manufacturer weight limits. Place safety mats around the unit and keep the area clear of obstacles.

Variants: Available variants include models with handles, portable or folding designs, and those intended specifically for fitness or therapy. The double mini-trampoline is a separate competitive apparatus used in trampoline gymnastics and differs from standard mini trampolines.
