1, shock absorption: skipping is a sport that needs jumping. For beginners or children, incorrect jumping methods or hard ground will have a certain impact on knees, so it is necessary to take some protective measures for cushioning and shock absorption.
2. Sound insulation and noise reduction: At the same time, skipping rope in the building will produce great noise due to the jumping impact with the ground and the rope hitting the ground, which will inevitably bring great noise trouble to the downstairs residents.
3, non-slip: Some family floors are marble tiles and the like, which are slippery. When jumping, you will accidentally fall down because the ground is smooth. Mats need to have good grip and anti-skid performance to protect the body.
On the basis of satisfying these three conditions, choose the skipping pad:
1, material:
Now the mainstream floor mats on the market are divided into NBR, PU, TPE, high-density PVC and other materials.
NBR material: Its floor mat has poor wear resistance and is not suitable for wearing shoes on it for a long time. If you jump a few times, the surface of the mat will be damaged. And the product is easy to slide and fall on the ground during jumping. Not suitable for skipping rope.
PU material: Although it is close to the ground, the ground absorbs well. However, the PU material on the surface of the floor mat is too delicate, and the main professional direction is yoga mat. It is also not suitable for skipping rope in shoes, which is easy to wear.
TPE material and high-density PVC material, both of which have good grip and wear resistance. Whether the mat is placed on marble floor or wooden floor, it has good grip and anti-skid performance, and is suitable for wearing shoes and skipping rope. The surface material has good wear resistance.
Therefore, when choosing materials, pay attention to TPE materials and high-density PVC materials.
2. Thickness
The early mats were mainly used for yoga practice, so the thickness was mainly between 5 mm and 8 mm. Yoga was mainly a static movement and was not suitable for skipping rope.
The frequency of skipping rope and the intensity of landing are relatively large, so when choosing a skipping mat, try to choose a thicker one.
At present, a better skipping mat can be selected from 30 mm to 40 mm; It can effectively reduce the impact sound with the ground, and at the same time cushion and shock absorption, and protect the knees.
