Answer #1

well.both of these girls are right.it helps a gymnast by absorbing the shock in your landing on harder tumbling passes. :] it tends to help me stick my layout full, and doesn’t hurt my ankles as bad.

Answer #2

yah like everyone else said, it helps absorb the shock in your feet when you land a skill. If you know the feeling when you jump off of something and your feet start tingling, thats what it prevents. =]

Answer #3

chocolate kisses is right. it is also a thin-ish mat that most gymnasts use to land harder tumbling skills on the floor.

Answer #4
