Etymology

The term 'trampolining' originates from the Spanish word 'trampolín', which means a diving board, and was adopted into English in the 20th century. Trampolines began to be used for various training purposes in the 1930s and 1940s, primarily to help athletes in tumbling and diving. The sport gained official recognition when the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) established rules allowing for organized competitions, with the first World Championships taking place in 1964. Trampolining was included in the Olympics for the first time in 2000, showcasing its growth and the increasing popularity of the sport. As a fun way to stay active, trampolining has also spread into recreational facilities, appealing to a broader audience beyond just competitive athletes.
