Description
The MATP MAT is a low-cost, DIY training mat made from Zotefoam. It uses existing noise-making teaching buttons that can be recorded to create a multi-sensory, interactive experience for athletes in the Motor Activities Training Programme. The design is adaptable and customizable, allowing users to create and draw on their own blocks or objects to place on the buttons, providing an accessible solution for those who cannot obtain other options. The mat also provides real-time feedback for skill refinement.
