ASM Long Mat – Pink

For broad motor skill development, versatile movement is essential. In collaboration with the Athletic Skills Model, Janssen-Fritsen has developed this ASM Long Mat to support this approach in practice. While a traditional long mat is mainly used for performing gymnastics exercises in sequence, the ASM graphic on this mat provides additional versatility for educational and gymnastics environments. This allows you to use the mat for multiple activities within a single lesson or training session.

Key features

• Use the mat for multiple activities thanks to the ASM graphic
• Easy to clean after intensive use thanks to the bisonyl cover
• Create longer set-ups easily with hook-and-loop fastening strips
• Remains stable during exercises thanks to the anti-slip underside
• Provides optimal cushioning during exercises through its sandwich foam filling

The Athletic Skills Model is a practical, scientifically based framework for versatile movement. At the heart of the model are ten fundamental forms of movement that together contribute to broad motor skill development. By applying these movement forms consistently, a sustainable foundation is created for fitness, vitality and health. The ASM Long Mat supports this approach in practice and can be used in various ways within lessons or training sessions:

• The centre orientation line provides orientation for hand and foot placement during gymnastics exercises
• The centre orientation line divides the mat into two sections for paired activities
• Use the coloured zones as target areas, hopping zones or placement markers
• The centre features a graphic for the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT)
• Use the ends as free zones for tag games and running activities

The mat can also be used in many other ways. Visit the ASM Gallery for additional inspiration. The visual graphic makes it easy to switch quickly between different activities. This enables you to develop a variety of motor skills using a single mat within one lesson or training session.
