	Mat (gymnastics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mats are used for safety in gymnastics, and in training new skills.
		Mats come in a range of sizes, from very small mats used on the beam, to very large mats, used in the foam pits.
		These mats may be stacked to provide a protective surface for gymnasts working on the low balance beam, or provide a means for a gymnast to reach the bars or rings.

	Mat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such a mat might typically be used when mounting a heavy machine which vibrates, onto a concrete floor; in the absence of the anti-vibration mat, the machine tend to erode the floor through abrasion.
		In the United Kingdom, under the name of "coir" matting, a large amount of a coarse kind of carpet is made from coconut fibre; and the same material, as well as strips of cane, Manila hemp, various grasses and rushes, is largely employed in various forms for making doormats.
		Matting of various kinds is very extensively employed throughout India for floor coverings, the bottoms of bedsteads, fans and fly-flaps, etc.; and a considerable export trade in such manufactures is carried on.

	Gender Differences in Vault Landing Location During the Artistic Gymnastics Competition of the 2000 Olympic Games: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The ability of gymnast to control the reaction force experienced during landing, however, may be compromised by an inability of the gymnast to anticipate the task specific load, coordination of muscle forces, and withstand the load experienced during interaction with the landing surface.
		Static loading of the mat was performed in the region of the landing mat located directly above the separation in the mats and in the middle of the mat (equidistant from all edges).
		Vaulting landings performed in the mat separation region at high velocities is expected to produce greater differences in deformation conditions between the mat separation region and the middle of the landing mat than those detected during static loading.

	USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: Drills for Saltos
		One such drill involves the performance of a one and a quarter rotation, in the case of the backward double, or a one and one quarter rotation and one and three quarters rotation, in the case of the forward double, onto a raised mat surface.
		Typically, a gymnast will begin by performing a single salto to the feet onto a stack of mats considerably higher than that of the take-off surface to encourage height in her tumbling.
		Although a higher level gymnast may have sufficient awareness to avoid this situation, an inexperienced gymnast may be unable to recognize the error in rotation until it is too late.

		Gymnasts performing a tumbling pass, beginning with a round-off, during the floor exercise are limited to approach distances of approximately 7 m.
		Gymnasts performing the floor exercise are required to stay within the limits of the floor exercise area and penalized for leaving established bounds.
		Also noteworthy is the detail that, despite the difference in 'sting' mat and force platform dimensions, it is unlikely that, due to the compliant nature of the 'sting' mat, a non-negligible portion of the force applied to the mat by the gymnast was applied to the ground rather than the force platform.

		It also seems relevant to mention that home gymnastics equipment does not replace the need for a qualified instructor, and Gymnastics Revolution does not promote any parent coaching their child, or requiring the use of that home equipment.
		In another article, I will discuss the role of the parent for the aspiring gymnast, but for now, suffice it to say that gymnastics is a wonderful part of many children’s lives, and that can and should certainly extend to the home.
