What pressure should I maintain in the AirTrack?

The pressure of the AirTracks must also be taken into account to make optimal use of these fantastic mats. 

Which pressure you need depends on a number of factors. It is advised to always use enough pressure and in any case to fill the mat with air before each new use. 

The ideal pressure depends on the type of sport being practiced on the mat, which mat you are using, the athletic level of the users, experience and weight.

For more information about the correct pressure, please refer to your manual AirTrack check it out.

How do I measure the pressure in my AirTrack mat?

To measure the pressure you need a special device that they offer at AirTrack Factory

With a manometer you can measure your pressure exactly AirTrack mat. This can be used on the Super Silent AirTracks, the Air floor and AirTrack element.

How exactly do you do that? That is very simple. All you have to do is connect the pressure gauge to the second valve when you inflate the track.

With the materials of AirTrack Factory you will never damage your mat, so you don't have to worry that you may have applied too much pressure.

Damage is also impossible with the exercises that you can perform on the mat. 

Hard, medium or soft?

How should the mat feel to train yourself optimally? 

The mat can be inflated in three ways so that the result is a hard mat, a medium hard mat or a soft surface.

• When the mat feels hard means that there is a lot of pressure on it. In this way you create a kind of 'dead' floor, which is often used in competitions.
• Are you somewhat lower in pressure, then you get a somewhat better 'bounce', which is ideal if you want to train jumps.
• You get a soft mat at even lower pressure, and this is advised when users are athletes with a beginner level or when it will be played by, for example, children.

The best way to determine what pressure is right is to stand on the mat and make sure you don't drop all the way down when you jump.

When in doubt, it is better to pump some more air into it.
