Sharing A Teaching Design With Air Track Mats

The physical fitness and general quality of children is a major concern for families, but also for schools, society and the nation. Therefore, if you are a PE teacher in a school, you will be doing everything you can to improve the physical fitness of your students.

If you are familiar with PE lessons, you will find that the air track mat is one of the most essential props in PE lessons, because on the one hand it protects students from injuries and on the other hand it is an important tool for teaching and playing games in PE lessons. So, I am going to share with you a design for an exercise for students. Let's take a closer look at this design.

Straight arm support, mat-on and mat-off exercise

Rules: Students support themselves with straight arms on the air track mat, and follow the rhythm of the instruction, with left and right hands on both sides of the mat on beats 1-2, and return to support on beats 3 and 4. Students with stronger upper limbs can brace their left and right hands on both sides of the mat at the same time for 1-2 beats, and return to support for 3-4 beats.

Design intent: Use the air track mat's softness to wake up the upper limbs' support strength, and also to exercise students' balance ability. Two types of exercises are designed for the different abilities of the students to achieve the effect of the exercises together.

Equipment: Use the height difference of the air track mat to fully move the shoulder joints and strengthen the upper limbs.

Note: Remind students to bend their elbows and cushion their hands to avoid injury during the exercise.

Ending

If you are a member of the school staff, then you can buy the air track mat from Kameymall as it is more convenient and versatile than a traditional gymnastics mat. If you are interested in air track mats, please feel free to contact us.
