A trend has developed over the last ten years for clubs to have a separate facility for this type of training method. Most land based training involves using a trampoline or a diving board with a foam pit or landing pit.
In addition to the trampoline or land based board is a spotting belt and ropes that allow the divers to spin or twist while held in the air by a certified coach acting as the spotter. Using a spotting apparatus allows the diver to practice a dive in a safe and efficient manner.
Diving is an impact sport and the constant pounding of the body on the water can begin to tear down a diver's body. Land based training can help to reduce the stress on the body and allow the diver to continue to train at a high level.
Many teams are faced with inadequate facilities or the inability to consistently rent aquatic facilities and swimming pools in order to practice. Land based training can help divers to practice their dives without actually having to practice them in the swimming pool or aquatic facility.
Land based training can be used to practice specific training methods and skills needed to successfully complete dives. They can safely practice skills such as kicking out of dives or learning to initiate a somersault.
They can then put the moves together in a particular dive, and the diver can find success. One constant fear for every diver is "smacking" the water.
In a smack, a diver will hit the water at less than or more than a 90 degree angle to the water. A smack can cause welts, bruising, or even, is severe occasions, a dislocation, concussion, or ruptured ear drum.
In addition to these potential injuries, a smack can create a lack of confidence in a diver's ability and the fear of a particular dive. By training on a land based diving board or trampoline and a spotting apparatus, the diver can perform dives without the fear of smacking.
Your backyard or lake trampoline can come in handy when practicing your wakeboard tricks. A trampoline is a soft spot to land when first learning a wakeboarding trick.
It also provides a decreased risk of injury when attempting a trick for the first few times. Gymnasts frequently use trampolines for practice for this same reason.
Another benefit is if you do not pull off the move you will not have to wait in the water until the boat swings back around to pick you up. Instead you can get on the floating trampoline and wait for the boat to pick you up to try the trick again.
If you use a land trampoline tying a tow rope to a nearby tree or other object can act as a tow boat and gives the rope some tension. You can then hold on to the handle and practice your jumps.
If nothing is nearby to use as a tie-off point, someone standing on land can hold the rope. Be careful with a human anchor, however, as a sharp tug can send them face down into the water.
There are also risks involved when training on a trampoline. Take it slow and never try to exceed your skill level.
Many injuries occur when beginners try to perform advanced tricks. This is not only reckless, but also dangerous.
Massively high jumps are most likely not needed to pull off a trick. Instead, try a few mid-size jumps and attempt the trick.
You will probably get more than enough air, and if you crash, you will not fall as hard. Never wear a wakeboard when performing trampoline training.
Doing so could not only tear your trampoline but also injure yourself if you land incorrectly. As with many other sports that involve flying through the air, never look down while performing your tricks.
Keep your head up and eyes set on the horizon as if you are looking at the tow boat. This should ensure that you complete the move and land in safely.
