Applications Of Air Track Mats To Hurdles Lessons (Part 1)

Are you a sports coach or a gym operator? If you have the opportunity to teach a hurdles class to your students, you will find that the air track mat is very versatile in hurdles training classes, before, during and after the class. Today's article is a two-part series on the use of the air track mat in preparing for a hurdles session and why I would recommend the air track mat over a traditional air track mat.

The use of the air track mat in the preparation for hurdles

Firstly, the air track mat graphic obstacle run game. Using an air track mat, you can set up a relay game with different graphical obstacles, so that students can experience the sensation of back pedalling, which is safe and motivates them to learn, as well as increasing their motivation to learn and develop their spirit of overcoming difficulties. For example, the air track mat is placed flat lengthways, around a large square, and students form a column, 3m apart, and jump from the mat at a jog.

First, use the mat to do various forms of stretching. For example, sit on the mat and do horizontal splits, vertical splits, stretching the body forward with the legs 90° apart, sitting on the mat with the palms of the feet facing each other and grabbing the toes with both hands, stretching the upper body sideways and turning the body, etc.

Finally, use the air track mat to practice "hurdle sitting". Sitting on the air track mat to practise hurdle technique is clean and hygienic, and avoids the influence of wet ground, and is not restricted by the venue. In the practice of hurdles technical action at the same time, can fully activity students hip ligaments, can also use the air track mat hurdles sitting at the same time practice hurdles a moment to swing arm technical action. For example, the air track mat can be used for the 180° turn exercise and the air track mat can be used for the leaning forward and down exercise.

Why to choose the air track mat instead of the air track mat

First of all, space is always smaller in the city, so the air track mat takes up less space as you can pull the air out when you are done with it. Secondly, the air track mat is more versatile, for example it can be used as a life buoy or you can experience yoga on the water, which makes the gym more attractive and reduces the cost of sports equipment.
