Tumbling mats and their uses in Gymnastics

Mat is a flat piece of cloth or fabric which would be kept on a flat surface. Like there are welcome mats in front of the home to ensure that no dust is coming into the home. A door mat is something which is place right outside the door, this is to ensure that they scrub the bottom of the shoes when coming into the home. The materials used to make door-mats are tough and durable because they need to perform in extreme conditions. This is the biggest reason why a mat is used. This is also known as a welcome mat.

Some of the other forms of mat are ones which are using during gymnastics, anti-vibration or wrestling. These mats change the state of the mass which is passing above them. This is the reason why there are many different mats available. There was a time when people used to perform gymnastics on wooden floors. This meant that during a fall, the kind of damages that can happen were also immense. There was no way that people would take that risk and may people stopped performing just from the fear of the fall.

This is when the Gymnastics Tumbling Mat was introduced. This kind of mat is helpful to ensure the safety of the people performing gymnastics. These mats are designed to withstand pressure and would be able to get the place safe. This is the reason why as per the code by the gymnastics association, they have mentioned what kind of a thickness is needed in a mat.
