Modifying landing mat material properties may decrease peak contact forces but increase forefoot forces in gymnastics landings.

This study investigated how changes in the material properties of a landing mat could minimise ground reaction forces (GRF) and internal loading on a gymnast during landing. A multi-layer model of a gymnastics competition landing mat and a subject-specific seven-link wobbling mass model of a gymnast...
