The Hop MAT is an advanced jump assessment tool designed to measure and track lower limb power, symmetry, and landing mechanics. Developed by Movement Assessment Technologies, it provides objective and repeatable data for performance testing, rehabilitation, and return-to-sport decision-making.
Provides accurate and standardized jump assessments.
High-contrast markings for precise measurement of hop and jump distances.
Durable, lightweight, and portable for ease of use in various environments.
Rubber-backed surface ensures stability and consistency during testing.
Ideal for clinicians, coaches, and performance specialists.
Single-leg and double-leg hop testing.
Return-to-sport readiness assessments.
Performance monitoring and enhancement.
Injury prevention programs.
Rehabilitation progress tracking.
For safe and effective use of the Hop MAT, follow these guidelines:
Ensure a stable surface: Place the Hop MAT on a flat, non-slip surface to prevent movement during testing.
Wear appropriate footwear: Users should wear proper footwear to ensure grip and minimize the risk of slipping.
Use in a clear space: Ensure the surrounding area is free of obstacles to prevent accidental falls or injuries.
Monitor user fatigue: Avoid excessive repetitions, as fatigue can impact test accuracy and increase injury risk.
Avoid excessive wear and tear: While the Hop MAT is durable, avoid using sharp objects or heavy equipment directly on its surface.
Store properly: Keep the Hop MAT flat or rolled in a clean, dry environment to maintain its integrity.
Clean regularly: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the markings.
Check for damage: Regularly inspect the Hop MAT for signs of wear, such as cracks or fading measurements, which may affect accuracy.
Do not use for high-impact landings: The Hop MAT is not designed to absorb impact forces; avoid jumping with excessive force beyond normal assessment requirements.
Secure when transporting: Roll or store flat to prevent creasing or damage during transport.
Be mindful of wet surfaces: Dry completely before use if exposed to moisture to prevent slipping hazards.
The Hop MAT is designed using high-quality materials to ensure longevity and performance consistency.
Material: Flexible yet sturdy nylon pile with a rubber backing.
Markings: High-contrast printed measurements designed for high visibility and durability.
Dimensions: Standard size designed for ease of transport and optimal assessment coverage.
Weight: Lightweight for easy portability without compromising stability.
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Storage: Keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Transport: Roll or lay flat when transporting to avoid creasing or damage.
Check before use: Before each use, inspect the Hop MAT for dirt, debris, or any damage that may impact its function.
