I work in a gym that doesn't have a sprung floor and was just wondering if the techniques for achieving a skill remain the same whether using a sprung or non sprung floor.
I'm thinking that techniques to achieve good take offs and arm repulstions etc. should be the same whether the floor is sprung or non sprung. The main differences being increased impact forces on a non sprung floor as opposed to sprung floors leading to increased risk of injuries and also loss of power because a non sprung floor has less 'elasticity' or less of an ability to develop potential energy (for want of a better word) than a sprung floor. So this would mean that good technique becomes more important on a non sprung floor to maximise the resulting power for the skill. Does this sound right?
At the end of the day are there any other differences that should be considered to achieve the best result for a particular skill?
Cheers,
