What Air Track Do You Prefer, Firm, Medium Or Soft?

In the picture below, this is a 5m long, 2m wide and 0.1m thick air track, which may not be familiar to you. In fact, it is an inflatable gymnastic mat. Combining the general characteristics of inflatable products with the functions of a gymnastic mat, you may have already thought of many uses for this mat. So, today we will talk to you about a topic that you are more curious about.

Since this is an inflatable gymnastics mat, one of the essential steps before using it is to inflate the air track. Today we are going to talk about inflating the air track.

What pressure should I keep in the air track?

In order to make the best use of these amazing mats, the pressure of the AirTracks must also be taken into account. Which pressure you need depends on many factors, such as what you will be doing on the air track, which surfaces you put it on, etc. It is recommended to always use sufficient pressure and in any case to inject air into the mat before each new use.

The ideal pressure depends on the type of exercise being practised on the mat, the mat you are using, the level of exercise of the user, experience and weight. For more information on the correct pressure, you can refer to the manual for your air track mat. If you find that your air track has become soft again after inflation, there may be a hole in the mat. Next you will probably need to find out how to fix the air track mat leak.

To measure the pressure you will need a special device, which they supply at the AirTrack factory. With a pressure gauge you can accurately measure the pressure of your AirTrack pad. This can be used for Super Silent AirTracks, Air floors and AirTrack elements. How exactly do you do this? It's very simple. All you have to do is connect the pressure gauge to a second valve when inflating the track. With the AirTrack Factory material, you can never damage your mat, so you don't have to worry that you might be applying too much pressure. Damage is also impossible and you can practice on the mat.

What kind of air track do you want, firm, medium or soft?

What should the mat feel like to give you the best training? The mat can be inflated in three ways, which results in a hard mat, a medium-firm mat or a soft surface.

When the mat feels hard, it means that there is a lot of pressure on it. In this way you create a 'dead' floor, which is often used in tournaments. If you have a slightly lower pressure then you get a better 'bounce' which is ideal if you want to train jumps. At lower pressures you can get a soft mat, which is recommended when the user is a junior level athlete or when it will be played by, for example, children. The best way to determine what pressure is correct is to stand on the mat and make sure you don't keep falling down when you jump.
