This is both due to inner ear receptors and proprioceptors in the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments that got stimulated during the trampolining. The inner ear (labyrinth) has the 3 semi circular canals with endolymph and perilymph fluids in them that oscillate around with movement; the vestibule of the inner ear has the utricle and saccule sacs with the little ear rocks (otoliths) and gel-maculae that send messages about your repeated posture changes to the brain . Inside these structures are very sensitive receptor cells that were stimulated during the jumping. The messages were sent to the brain to tell you you were jumping up and down. These structures (and trampolining) are involved with both static and dynamic equilibrium. This phenomenon after trampoline is similar to the false sense of rocking people feel after they are on a boat for a long time. After the brain has received so many messages about you being up and down and up and down (and the inner ear is "over stimulated", the brain gets sensitized (adaptation) and has the message etched there for a while, Takes a while for the receptor cells and brain to settle down again. After I have been on a boat for a week I will feel like I am still rocking (on the boat) for a couple days and can even lose my balance at times when walking on solid ground. Almost fell out of a chair once too, after I was back on land.

Same reason why walking feels strange after roller skating for a while; and why astronauts feel weird when they re-enter gravity -- our nervous system and muscles learn to act and react a certain way to the environment we're in/on.

A trampoline is soft and bouncy, while the ground is hard and rigid -- our leg muscles need to move differently to maintain our balance and to propel us on these surfaces. When we switch between surfaces, there's a transition time, which gets shorter the more frequently we are in those environments.

Its cause you're used to getting pushed by the trampoline into the air -it's making you jump - you're just in for the ride. But when you'r eon the ground, you have to work harder because the ground doesn't push you up.

Probably because when you are jumping on a trampoline it is so easy to jump because you are bouncing off of something and after you jump for so long your body is going to get tired and when you try to jump on the ground you are not bouncing off on something and you body get use to bouncing off.

AFTER JUMPING ON THE TRAMPOLINE 30 OR MORE MINUTES YOUR LEG MUSLES ARE TIRED AND SO WHEN TOU JUMP ON THE GROUND YOUR MUSCLES ARE NOT BEING AIDED BY THE TRAMPOLINE AND
SO HAVE TO DO MORE WORK.

This is due to Time lag in communication between the brain and rest of body parts.It is similar to when you eat and the fact the "stomach is full "news takes 15-20 minutes to get to brain.Hence they say that we should always eat less than full and you'll be al right after 15-20 minutes.On the other hand if you eat till full,you'll feel uncomfortable after 15-20 minutes because you have overeaten.

there are chemicals on the trampoline that actually turn your blood, just for a very short period of time, into a jello like substance. This substance has baffled scientist for years. Even worse, its flammable. So please don't smoke after jumping on a trampoline. You will spontaneously combust. It happened to my cousin Fred.

In part, is has to do with your muscles, and in part, with gravity.

To jump, you use a specific set of muscles, and you "constrain" them in a given posture for the duration of your jumping.

The mechanism of the trampoline gives you an "assist" against gravity.

Your body is used to the little resistance of the trampoline and the ground is much more resistant.

Because you are used to the gravity taking you up on the trampoline.
