What We Should Care About When Buying Air Tracks? (Part 1)

The mat pictured here is a special gymnastic mat called the air track mat, which looks a bit like a yoga mat with a dark blue border and a grey cross section. The main difference between this mat and a traditional mat is that it needs to be inflated before it can be used, so it also appears to be very portable and does not take up much space.

In the next two articles I would like to talk to you about what we should look for when choosing the air track, or some of the issues we need to consider.

The size of the mat

The fact is that mats come in a wide range of sizes and you can even customise them yourself, but it is important that they are the right size for the intended activity and user. If you're buying it for aerials or other stunts, make sure it's big enough to provide a safe landing area. If you are buying it just to practice yoga, then the mat pictured, which is three metres long, one metre wide and ten centimetres thick, will be sufficient.

Weight limit

When it comes to the air track, the weight limit is important because it is only safe for the user if it can support all the weight of the user and the equipment being used. If you are going to use it for tumbling or other stunts, it is even more important to make sure that it can support your weight and the impact on the mat when you land. Before you buy, find out what your weight and the weight limit of the mat are, but usually the maximum weight capacity of the mat is higher. It is said that even if the whole mat is full of people, it will still be able to withstand. However, if you are using it with a partner or group, it is still important to make sure in advance that the weight limit is high enough to accommodate everyone.

Recommendations
