Great Soft-Bounce ™ rebounders and Mini Trampolines

June 20th, 2007 by Murali Venkatesh

http://rebounder.prestiva.com

Needak ® Soft-Bounce ™ rebounders and Mini Trampolines.

For many years the jump surface of Needak rebounders was made of blue permatron and accessorized with blue vinyl spring covers and carry bags. The boom of the fitness industry in the late 1990’s forced a shift in the color scheme to black fabrics which matched the exercise equipment found in Gyms and Health Clubs.

Needak Manufacturing is now offering our quality rebounder in a color other than black. We call it our Platinum Edition rebounder and it incorporates all of our current features and several others that you have asked for.

Blue color- We offer this popular base for customers that prefer blue to our standard black rebounder.

Contrasting edge banding-To aid in centering on the rebounder, Needak utilizes a space between the jump mat and spring cover. This visual cue tells you when you are near the edge of the jump mat. We have added a platinum band to make this more obvious when doing vigorous exercise.

Improved jump mat-all of the platinum edition rebounders use our new mat cleat and newly upgraded sewing pattern found on our black rebounder to produce the best jump mat you will find anywhere.
ReboundAIR ® Soft-Bounce ™ rebounders and Mini Trampolines.

The study of the human body is fairly interesting. The moment it becomes no less than amazing is when we understand what happens as the body is placed under the demands of movement and resistance we call exercise. Rebounding is an effective exercise that reduces your body fat; firms your arms, legs, thighs, abdomen, and hips; increases your agility; strengthens your muscles overall; provides an aerobic effect for your cardiopulmonary systems; rejuvenates your body when it’s tired, and generally puts you in a state of mental and physical wellness. In fact, there are at least 33 fascinating ways the body responds to regular rebounding.

A Rebounder Helps You Bounce Your Way to Better Health!

June 20th, 2007 by Murali Venkatesh

 


The ReboundAIR Half-Fold Rebounder

The ReboundAIR Rebounder

Your lymphatic system is responsible for carrying away accumulated toxins and metabolism waste products. If it’s “stagnant”, a breeding ground for cancer can develop. And if waste products build up, your cells can’t be as healthy as they can be, which affects whatever system they’re part of. The best thing you can do for your lymph system is rebounding! Why?
    * You can do it at home
    * It doesn’t require a lot of time
    * It’s actually fun! (kids love to jump!)
It can be done by anyone, of any age. You can do a mild “health bounce”, or get a vigorous, heart-rate raising workout.

 Http://rebounder.prestiva.com is proud to offer the best rebounder (mini-trampoline) made - the ReboundAIR rebounder. The difference between this rebounder and the inexpensive store-bought models is like night and day. I started out with one of those $60 products, but found I didn’t stick with it. I understood the benefits of rebounding, but my body didn’t like it. When I tried a friend’s high quality bounder, I immediately knew why I didn’t like it. My cheap rebounder was very stiff compared to this one. The difference is in the feel of the bounce. This rebounder was enjoyable! Everyone who has compared the ReboundAIR to a store-bought rebounder says the same thing… it feels a lot better, and when you enjoy an exercise, you’ll do it more often. Sure this rebounder costs more than the store-bought models, but it feels better, is more enjoyable to use, and it’ll last (and if you use a rebounder with regularity, the cheap ones will not last).

And also, this rebounder easily folds in half for storage and transportation! (See photo below).

Low impact exercise with
high marks for lymphatic performance

The benefits of rebounding are many. Your lymphatic system will thank you, as will your legs, knees, hips, and your sense of balance. And not only can you do rebounding in your bare feet, but it’s actually better that you do!

The ReboundAIR rebounder is about 40 inches in diameter and 10 inches high. It is safe, easy to use, and effective. Research has led some scientists to conclude that, “Rebound exercise is the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man.”

The rebounder subjects the body to gravitational forces ranging from zero at the top of each bounce, to two to three times the force of gravity at the bottom, depending on how high you bounce. Unlike jogging or running on hard surfaces, which puts tremendous stress on certain joints such as the ankles and knees (eventually damaging them), rebounding affects every joint and cell in the body equally, and gently.

“The mini-trampoline [rebounder] provides a convenient form of exercise with a major advantage being its apparent low level of trauma to the musculoskeletal system.” - Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, 1990“Rebounding is an extremely easy exercise in which all that’s basically required is a slight up-and-down bouncing to continuously and aggressively clean the body’s defense system of waste matter… As little as five or six minutes a day can be of immeasurable value.” - Harvey Diamond, Author, Fit for Life

Rebounding stimulates all internal organs, moves the cerebral-spinal fluid, aqueous fluid within the eyes (many people experience improved eyesight), and does wonders for the intestines. Many immune cells such as T-lymphocytes and macrophages are self-propelled by amoebic action. All cells in the body become stronger in response to the increased G-forces during rebounding, and this “cellular exercise” benefits the immune system! As you rebound, every cell is strengthened and cleansed as toxins are eliminated from your body. (The lymphatic channels are placed under hydraulic pressure to move fluids containing waste products of metabolism around and out of the body.)

A routine of regular rebounding exercise enhances health and fitness and reduces the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer.

 

CBS News.com did a story on rebounding.

This is the best rebounder on the market… and I have researched all of them! (beware of imitations) It comes with a great book and carrying case. It folds in half (see photo to the right), and I can fit it in my little Honda Civic!

What makes it such a great rebounder

The mat and the springs. The mat is made of Permatron, and is 1,000 times more comfortable than the rubber or vinyl mats used on less expensive rebounders found in sporting goods stores, and Permatron won’t sag or stretch. It lets your feet achieve a more natural position at all points in the bounce.

The springs are barrel shaped (bottom photo), and make no mistake about it, the shape of the spring greatly affects the feel of the bounce. The tension of the spring changes at different points along its elongation… a fancy way of saying that it gives the bounce a better feel than the cheaper, straight springs (top photo). And high quality springs don’t break. This mat and these springs allow this rebounder to have a comfortable “soft” bounce.


 


December, 2003
“Some mini trampolines cost less than $100, but the surface of these inexpensive models can be unstable and allow too much recoil too quickly which can throw your ankles, knees, and hips out of alignment… Your best bet? Find one that supports at least 250 pounds and is 36 inches or more in diameter. Expect to pay $200 to $300.”

New implant may ‘bring music to the deaf’

June 15th, 2007 by vidhya

A simple change to the design of ‘bionic ear’ implants dramatically improves the quality of sound they provide, say researchers in the US who have tested a prototype on cats.

Around 100,000 people around the world have been fitted with conventional cochlear implants. These are built into the skull and tune into the signal produced by a wireless external microphone. The implant sits below the skin behind the ear and sends electrical signals to a set of electrodes coiled into the cochlear – the spiral organ in the ear that senses sound.

This process is far from perfect, however. These implants have a limited range of tones because it is difficult to insert the electrode array beyond the outer turns of the cochlea. The outer turns pick up the high frequencies, so people using today’s implants are sensitive only to the highest tones.

In addition, the signals must travel through liquid in the cochlear and then through the organ’s bony wall to the nerves outside. “It is like talking to someone through a closed door – the signal gets muffled,” says John Middlebrooks of the University of Michigan, US, who developed the new implant with Russell Snyder of the University of California, San Francisco, also US.

Increased range

The new device bypasses the cochlear and instead connects directly to the nerves that carry information to the brain.

Experiments in cats that compared the brain’s response to the established designs with its response to the prototype show the new device dramatically improves the range of tones that can be heard.

“Current implant users do very well with speech in a quiet environment but struggle with background noise,” Middlebrooks explains, “they also have very poor pitch perception and cannot appreciate music – in an environment like a crowded room, you use pitch to tune into a person’s voice.”

Experiments on 10 cats involved first recording the response of the brain to a range of tones. The cats were then deafened and the same tones were played with a conventional, and then experimental, implant installed.

Fully implantable?

Conventional implants only allow detection of tones as low as around 7 kHz, but the new implant allowed frequencies as low as 0.6kHz to be detected.

“We saw that the brain could detect a much greater range of frequencies,” says Middlebrooks.

The new design also produced a cleaner/more specific response in the brain to a particular frequency, and used much less power to get results. “If we develop this for humans it would have much lower power demands, so it could be much smaller and perhaps fully implanted,” says Middlebrooks.

Tests in which animals are fitted with the implants for periods of months are now planned.

“Cochlear implants themselves have provided a revolution,” says Brian Lamb, director of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf. “These implants – if successfully transferred to people – could offer further, major benefits.”

Bones could allow data swaps via handshake

June 15th, 2007 by vidhya

YOUR backbone’s connected to your shoulder bone, your shoulder bone’s connected to your neck bone - and your neck bone’s connected to your cellphone.

Something along these lines is what Lin Zhong and Michael Liebschner at Rice University in Houston, Texas, envisage. They want to use the human skeleton to transmit commands reliably and securely to wearable gadgets and medical implants. Their research, funded by Microsoft and Texas Instruments, could also lead to new ways for people with disabilities to control devices such as computers and PDAs.

Wireless radio signals are already used to control gadgets and implants, but these can suffer interference from Wi-Fi and other sources. This makes them unreliable and, in the case of medical implants, potentially dangerous. They can also be hacked by anyone with an antenna, Liebschner points out.

So the Rice team decided to investigate using sound instead of radio waves. Bone is known to be a great conductor of sound, but so far it has only been used to transmit analogue signals in applications such as checking how bone is healing after a fracture, and in hearing aids that transmit sound from outside the skull to the auditory nerve.

To see if bone could transmit digital signals over longer distances - to a headset, say, from a sensor worn on the wrist - the team applied a small vibrator to various parts of the body. When they then measured the acoustic signals received elsewhere on the body, they found that a “frequency shift keyed” (FSK) signal gave the best distinction between 0s and 1s. In FSK signalling a 0 is represented by one frequency and a 1 by a different one.

They then measured how well bone conducted these signals when they were generated in places on the body where devices are normally worn: the wrist for watches, the lower back for cellphones worn on a belt, and behind the ear for headsets. They found the skeleton conducted even low-power vibrations from one location to another with surprisingly few errors. “This is quite amazing because all the links involved multiple bones and many joints,” Zhong told a conference on body networks in Florence, Italy, this week.

The researchers suggest applications such as a vibrator in a wrist receiver/transmitter that could tell an implant placed near a bone to release a drug dose, with the implant then sending back data from its sensors. Similarly, tooth clacks or finger clicks could be interpreted by a receiver to activate, say, functions in a phone.

For Liebschner, the great benefit is security. “All data transfer is contained inside the human body, and it can only be retrieved through direct physical contact,” he says. People could even swap information between devices via a firm handshake, Zhong suggests.
