Mini Air Tracks For Trainings Of Hurdle Running (Part 1)

Air track mats are very versatile in PE classes and can be used for training in a variety of sports. The hurdles, a sport that seems to have nothing to do with gymnastics, can also be improved through the air track mat.

The "restrictive" approach means that the equipment is modified, the difficulty is reduced and the spacing between the hurdles is shortened in order to restrict the students to certain conditions to prevent and correct errors and to better master and complete the prescribed movements. In the next series of articles, we will share a variety of methods of teaching "restricted" hurdles using small air track mats, which we hope will be useful for PE teachers.

Swinging the legs in succession over the side hurdles

Practice method: set up the air track mat as a number of "cross-bridge" practice areas, students stand in a four-way column, using jogging across 3-4 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: master the swinging leg over the side bar, experience the lifting and stretching action of the swinging leg.

Exercise of swinging the legs over the middle bar in succession

Exercise method: set up a small air track mat as a number of "flat mat in front of the bridge" practice areas, students stand in four-way columns and use medium speed running to cross 3~4 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: limit the distance of the swing leg over the hurdles, master the start over the first hurdle, experience the "attacking hurdle" action.

Exercise of swinging the legs over the middle hurdles in succession

Exercise method: set up a small air track mat as a number of "left stacked in front of the bridge" exercise area (compared with method 2, the air track mat on the ground folds up), students stand in four-way columns, using medium speed running across 3~4 hurdles.

Learning and practicing focus: limit the swinging leg outward, master the ground and upper body forward movement, improve the ability of continuous hurdles.

Ending

If you look carefully at the market, you will find that most of the air track mats on the market are on the large side, if you want to buy a small air track mat, I recommend an online shop, Kameymall.
