Using A Jump Mat To See Difference In Elasticity

A spring based trampoline has galvanized and rust proof springs to power every jump.

Using a jump mat to see difference in elasticity.

Countless other tests are excellent for measuring power and the ability to jump far and high but this test is the simplest way to discover if an athlete of any level can use their elastic abilities well. We have also shown you the method of applying it on the plates and how to check the base pressure. See more details of pre test procedures. However coaches need to know why and how they re testing since athletes are different and so are jumps.

Subject to perform an appropriate warm up. A trampoline is a device consisting of a piece of taut strong fabric stretched between a steel frame using many coiled springs not all trampolines have springs as the springfree trampoline uses glass reinforced plastic rods. In general springs are less likely to break than elastic bands. The scandinavian rebound jump test assesses the elasticity of athletes in a practical safe way.

Price elasticity of supply. Contact mats are an excellent way to benchmark change in individual athletes as long as you interpret and utilize the data correctly and get athlete buy in to jump with their best effort. Rebounding is an exercise i do daily but i must admit that when i first heard about it the idea sounded crazy if you aren t familiar with it rebounding is basically jumping on a mini trampoline either in gentle bounces where your feet don t leave the trampoline or in complete jumps where you rise 6 inches from the surface. People bounce on trampolines for recreational and competitive purposes.

The fabric that users bounce on commonly known as the bounce mat or trampoline bed is not. However not all springs are truly rust proof. Jump height is calculated using a timing mat which measures the time the feet are off the mat. Otherwise use the elastic mat option.

Jump testing when done correctly can provide useful data. On the other hand springless types make use of bungee cords or elastic bands. Some tend to get brittle as they remain exposed outside. Price elasticity of demand is used by companies to establish their optimal pricing strategy but the relationship between supply price and demand can be complicated.

Avoid having internal angles 180 degrees between lines forming the elastic mat. With this option please observe the rules listed in the tech ref manual.
