Spring floor
01
a surface with built-in springs to enhance rebound and cushioning in gymnastics
What is a "spring floor"?
A spring floor is a specially designed gymnastics floor that includes a layer of springs or other flexible materials beneath the surface. This type of floor provides added bounce and shock absorption, helping gymnasts perform high jumps, flips, and landings with less impact on their bodies. The spring floor is typically used for floor routines in gymnastics, allowing athletes to execute complex moves with more control and height. It also reduces the risk of injury by cushioning landings, making it an essential piece of equipment in both training and competitions.
Examples
The gymnasts practiced their tumbling routines on the spring floor.
She landed her back handspring perfectly on the spring floor.
