Sports Floors
• have a high degree of energy return
• have a requirement for “ball bounce”
• are stiffer - cushioned footwear keeps athletes’ feet comfortable
|
Sprung Dance Floors
• have slip-resistant vinyl surfaces to avoid slips and falls
• have a combination of shock-absorption and energy return
• have “area elasticity” - flexion over a section or how the floor “gives” when the performer lands on it.
• do not have excessive rebound (the trampoline effect)
• are shock-damped to reduce the concern for “point elasticity”.
