Mats are one of the most important tools used to ensure safety while practicing gymnastics. It also provides a sense of freedom and reduces restrictions while training new skills.
A typical gymnastics mat is about 1.5 to 2.8 inches in thickness. It may be made up of plastic or vinyl foam. When it comes to density, numerous options are available starting from very soft to firm, depending upon the amount of support required during practice. Most of the gymnastics mats available are in colour blue, but there are several choices of colours to pick from and it all boils down to one’s personal choice. So how to choose the correct type of Gymnastic Mats in Australia ? • Beam Pads: This type of gymnastics mat is fastened on the balance beam that provides additional protection and support during high-skill level training. It also provides ample working space while working with the apparatus. The beam pads are typically soft to provide cushion against impact. • Blocks: These are rectangular or trapezoid shaped mats that are often firm. They are attached to one another using straps or Velcro. The most basic purpose of blocks, during physical exercises is to provide step stools at the time of practicing on a vault or beam. • Crash Mats: These ones are often thick and soft, which is meant for use by beginners or the ones trying to practice the skills. • Folding Panel Mats: This type of physical exercise pad is comparatively long, thin, and firm. Each panel comes with alternating colours and can be folded for easy stacking. Many of these can be attached with the help of a Velcro strap. This is ideally used for trainings that involve tumbling or any high-impact activity that could potentially be dangerous. Such pads are also used for martial arts and physical education classes.
