Jumping High to Learn

Help me give my students increased focus and attention. Not only will this assist with focus and attention, but proprioceptive input has been proven to help increase visual perceptual skills that are important skills for reading and writing.

My Project

I'm writing to share an exciting insight that I believe could greatly benefit the student that I work with, especially when they're engaged in the process of learning. Have you ever considered the surprising connection between a trampoline and learning? It might sound unusual at first, but let me explain why incorporating a trampoline into their routine can actually enhance the learning process.

Physical Activity Boosts Brain Function.

Numerous studies have shown that physical activity stimulates the brain and enhances cognitive function. When you bounce on a trampoline, you engage various muscle groups and activate your cardiovascular system. This increased blood flow to the brain can improve concentration, memory, and overall cognitive performance.

Multi-Sensory Learning is most effective when it engages multiple senses. Bouncing on a trampoline provides a unique sensory experience that combines movement, balance, and proprioception (the body's sense of its own position in space). This multi-sensory input can reinforce learning and help solidify new concepts and skills.

Learning can sometimes be stressful, especially when faced with challenging tasks or exams. Physical activity, such as trampolining, is a proven stress-reliever. It triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural mood elevators, which can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. By bouncing on a trampoline during the day, you can create a more relaxed learning environment.

Sitting still for extended periods can lead to restlessness and decreased attention span. Incorporating short trampoline breaks into your study sessions can help combat this. Even just a few minutes of bouncing can re-energize your body and mind, allowing you to return to your studies with renewed focus and concentration.

In conclusion, the benefits of incorporating a trampoline into my students learning routine are manifold. From improved brain function and stress reduction to enhanced focus and creative thinking, the positive effects are clear.
