However coaches need to know why and how they re testing since athletes are different and so are jumps.
Using a jump mat to see difference in elasticity.
Avoid having internal angles 180 degrees between lines forming the elastic mat.
Otherwise use the elastic mat option.
People bounce on trampolines for recreational and competitive purposes.
We have also shown you the method of applying it on the plates and how to check the base pressure.
A spring based trampoline has galvanized and rust proof springs to power every jump.
The fabric that users bounce on commonly known as the bounce mat or trampoline bed is not.
The scandinavian rebound jump test assesses the elasticity of athletes in a practical safe way.
In this video we have tried to explain you difference between elastic mat and plate mat.
Countless other tests are excellent for measuring power and the ability to jump far and high but this test is the simplest way to discover if an athlete of any level can use their elastic abilities well.
Subject to perform an appropriate warm up.
See more details of pre test procedures.
Jump testing when done correctly can provide useful data.
In general springs are less likely to break than elastic bands.
Price elasticity of supply.
With this option please observe the rules listed in the tech ref manual.
On the other hand springless types make use of bungee cords or elastic bands.
Price elasticity of demand is used by companies to establish their optimal pricing strategy but the relationship between supply price and demand can be complicated.
Jump height is calculated using a timing mat which measures the time the feet are off the mat.
You may have to subdivide the region into several sub regions with several elastic mat commands.
However not all springs are truly rust proof.
Contact mats are an excellent way to benchmark change in individual athletes as long as you interpret and utilize the data correctly and get athlete buy in to jump with their best effort.
Some tend to get brittle as they remain exposed outside.
