What Is So Practical In Long Jump Practices? (Part 2)

Many of you saw from my last post that I recommended you to use the air track mat as a tool to practice the standing long jump. They said it was a great idea. Because nowadays it is really a bit difficult for most people who live in the city to find a place to train. It's hard to find a sandpit. And it's very easy to get injured in the grass in the park.

So, the air track is really suitable for training the long jump because it is big enough and soft enough to prevent injuries. At this point, many people will have some questions. Let me list some of them and answer them.

Can the air track be affected by surface temperature?

Would you believe me if I told you that the air track is not affected by the temperature of the ground at all? I don't think you would. But you don't have to worry too much, because the material chosen for the air track mat is PVC and brushed fabric, both of which are highly resistant to high temperatures. So the air track is not really that fragile in the face of heat. However, it is also best not to put it on a concrete floor in the summer, as I don't think you would want to train in such a hot environment either.

Is it slip resistant?

Many people will have a concern. When we do a standing long jump, we jump forward with our feet and there is a backward force on the air track. So, will this backward force make the air track mat slip backwards? If so, it could pose a different risk to us. I would say that you can rest assured that if you are in a playground, park or on grass, this mat will hardly slip, even if the surface you choose has a certain slope. So, you just need to train well.

What about the scales we can print on the mats?

Many of our friends have said that since we are practising the standing long jump, if we could engrave distance scales on the mat to give it the function of a ruler, we would have a more direct idea of how far we can jump. The idea is a really good one and it is perfectly achievable at Kameymall. This shop can customise your mat with any pattern, text you want, as long as you are willing to talk to the customer service.
