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
