What are the drop pads knowing that you have a sports installation, whether a crossfit box, a boutique studio or fitness, or you are a personal coach and have a space for your personal classes or even if you give them at home the droppers or DROP PADS They can take away many headaches.
It is more than demonstrated that most complaints and complaints by neighbors and communities of owners about sports facilities are motivated by problems with problems with noises and Vibrations. This makes sense since in these facilities what is done is to move heavy objects for which at some point you have to support them or in some cases even drop them.
It is true that over time the pavements destined for gyms with rubber and rubber polymers that achieve reductions of this type of problem have been improved, while the useful life of the material extends. It must be said that if we drop the weight in a controlled way with these rubber soils, or with rubber tiles it is usually enough.
But in sports such as Crossfit Or the lostophily is sometimes unfeasible to drop the weight in a controlled way since it is sought to lift weights that touch the limits of athletes or sometimes there are training whose intensity does not cause that delicacy when it comes to releasing the weights. And let's not talk about possible accidental falls.
For these cases, in particular, anti -vibration impact absorption mats are a specific solution that will avoid problems with neighbors, accidents and take care of the material.
What are the drops or impact absorption mats?
They are cushions that can have different sizes and thicknesses depending on the amount of noise and vibrations that we want to reduce, but whose inner composition is similar. Earned in PVC covers or cotton combinations and high -resistance nylon, after all they will withstand very heavy material falls, there is what really absorbs problems.
A high -density polyurethane interior, a very dense foam, with great insulation capacity manages to absorb the energy of the falls and retain the sending of vibrations.
The greater the density of this foam greater absorption (it makes it more difficult to contract), if we add greater thickness, we will have even more resistance to falls
When can I use them?
In haleterophilia classes, those of lower density with the most new athletes can not be used to the weight of the bar and sometimes they can be seen in the need to drop it empty or with 5kilos discs. Two things that remain useful life both to the bar and the discs, since they have little thickness and it is easy for them to crack.
They will also be useful in times of searching for RM in movements such as Cleans or loaded and jerks. At that time the athlete manages to lift the bar with a very large effort and sometimes it is unfeasible to return the bar to the ground in a totally controlled way, being able to cause injuries.
In this situation, the bar must fall and we are talking about surveys easily more than 100 kilos, so vibrations and noise are more than insured. In these cases heavy impact absorption mats are the ideal solution.
Drop Pads functions:
But not always in an installation Olympic bars are used.
The Drop Pads also serve to protect the soil and material in for example training with kettlebells and dumbbells, and even more when these exercises are mixed in routines with high intensity between stations.
This generates that tiredness in athletes, sweat, and the desire to move to the next station or exercise leads them not to control the fall of the material. And we can be talking about objects between 12 and 30 kilos that accumulate kinetic energy, that is, they do not stop as soon as they touch the ground. However, the Drop Pads would stop that movement while preventing noise and vibrations from moving to the ground.
Conclusion
In summary, an investment in this type of equipment will consist in a long time in a reduction in concerns when dealing with neighbors, whether housing or adjacent companies, as well as a lower cost in material since we will extend the life of this.
