The trampoline was born into the world of circus circus Hughes based in London, was used in a number. This is to him we owe the name "Trampoline".

In his book "Trampoline Tumbling" (published in 1942) American Larry Griswold wrote that the origin is due to 2 Italian trapeze artists calling themselves "Due Trampoline" and who have had the idea of using the elasticity of safety net to finish their exhibition by acrobatic leaps.

In 1926, George Nissen, a professor of Physical Education, taking the principle, develops a device, the forerunner of what we know, and whose full canvas was hung by rubber bands in a metal frame. The same year, his association with Griswold, will create the foundation for "gymnastics on the trampoline, making this name in honor of its origin. The tandem Griswold-Nissen then focuses on improving equipment, and design of this new sport.

During the 2nd World War, the trampoline was an instrument training for pilots of the U.S. military. The American and Soviet astronauts used it to test their body positions in the air. The first world championships were held in 1964 in London.

It consists of bars in fiberglass on which are placed 10 cm foam and carpeting. Tumbling is characterized by the sequence of fast-paced acrobatic elements (plop, saltos, tempos, spins, ...) made without breaking pace. Each series begins with picking up speed and ends on the receiving surface after the last part of that exercise should be conducted at a maximum height.
