What Are Air Spots Used For? (Part 1)

Gymnastic mats are really versatile in life. At school, gymnastic mats make physical education classes more efficient and enriching. At home, yoga mats are an essential part of almost every household. More commonly, they are used in gymnasiums, dance studios, taekwondo studios, martial arts studios and so on. However, the air track mat is now slowly replacing the traditional gymnastic mat.

The air track mat has been on the market for a long time, so you will be familiar with it. It is an inflatable gymnastics mat, usually 3-10 metres long, 1-2 metres wide and 0.1 or 0.2 metres thick. However, there are other shapes of mats that can be used for various gymnastic exercises. Today, let's take a look at the air spot.

What is the air spot?

The air spot is an air mat with a round shape. As you can see in the picture, this is a white round air spot with a diameter of 0.7 m and a thickness of 0.1 m. In our shop, the diameter of the mat can be adjusted according to your needs. You can choose from round mats with diameters of 0.7m, 0.9m, 1m and 1.4m. So, what can this mat be used for? Let's take a look.

What is the air spot used for in gymnastics training?

In gymnastics training, the air spot is often used as a landing spot to help users improve their precision. For example, when you are practising a cartwheel, if you can land your feet in the exact circle when you fall from the air, then you are undoubtedly at a high level. Conversely, if your feet fall outside the circle, you need to train more.

Alternatively, you can use this circular air spot to perform one-handed or two-handed handstands, for example. Of course, the air spot is best used in conjunction with the air track in order to avoid injuries due to gymnastic training errors.
