Weller Floor's Patented Variable Pitch Engineering reduces impact force, impulse, and vibration making it the safest design for athletes.

Ensuring Gymnast Safety: Introducing Weller Spring Floor

"The future development of gymnastics is a complex and complicated process. Part of it involves new technique for elements and creation of new skills. But human abilities are limited, and therefore, we need new, modern gymnastics apparatus, which would help gymnasts perform new skills and at the same time provide safety.” - Nellie Kim , VP Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG)

Over the weekend, during the USAG Core Hydration Classic, 2022 US National Champion Konnor McClain suffered an injury during the floor exercise warm-up. This incident highlights the critical need for safer gymnastics equipment.

At King Bars Sports, LLC , we are dedicated to revolutionizing gymnastics safety and performance through cutting-edge technology and innovative design. Our latest innovation, Weller Spring Floor, is designed to significantly reduce the risk of injury and enhance athletic performance.

Introducing Weller Spring Floor

Weller Spring Floor incorporates advanced variable pitch engineering, allowing for the customization of floor stiffness and resilience. This technology ensures that the floor absorbs and dissipates impact forces more effectively, reducing the risk of strains, sprains, and other injuries. Moreover, it provides a more consistent and predictable surface, enhancing gymnasts' performance.


?? EASIER ON THE ATHLETE? Weller Floor Features Patented Variable Pitch Engineering.

? What is Variable Pitch Engineering? It works by altering the pitch of the springs within the floor, resulting in a frequency response that reduces the stress on the athlete’s body during certain movements, i.e., dorsiflexion.

?? An Analogy: This innovation has been likened to airbags in automobiles, which increase the impact time over which the body is stopped, reducing the force and risk of injury.

Key Findings from Our Research:

  • Superior Shock Absorption: Weller Spring Floor demonstrates a slightly lower dominant frequency (~8 Hz) compared to traditional cylindrical springs and foam blocks (~9 Hz), indicating better shock absorption capabilities.
  • Enhanced Energy Transfer: In terms of impulse, which measures the total force over time, Weller showed lower values. This means Weller provides better energy dissipation, crucial for both performance and injury prevention.
  • Superior Rate of Force Development: Weller Spring Floor produces a higher rate of force development on the downward motion and a lower rate of force development on the upward motion. This translates to safer landings, more power on takeoff, greater control over movements, and more time in the air.

Why This Matters Now

As we approach the Paris Olympics, it is more important than ever to ensure our athletes are training and competing on the safest equipment available. The recent injury underscores the urgency of this issue.

We urge industry leaders and regulatory bodies to investigate and prioritize athlete safety. For more details, please read our latest press release below.

“Nothing is more important than the safety of athletes. As a company, we are committed to advancing the technology of gymnastics equipment to make the sport safer and more enjoyable for all. We are proud to introduce our latest innovation, variable pitch engineering, and are excited to work with industry leaders to prioritize the safety of gymnasts around the world.” Scott Weller, Founder and Inventor, King Bars Sports, LLC.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Inventor of Safer Gymnastics Floor Calls for Investigation of Industry Practices

Carefree, AZ - Scott Weller, the inventor of Weller Spring Floor, a patented, cutting-edge technology that has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of injury to gymnasts, is calling for a closer examination of industry practices to improve the safety of gymnastics equipment.

The technology, which allows for the customization of the stiffness and resilience of gymnastics floors, has been shown to better absorb and dissipate the impact of landings, reducing the risk of strains, sprains, and other injuries. In addition to safety benefits, Weller’s technology can also improve the performance of gymnasts by providing a more consistent and predictable surface.

"Gymnastics is a beautiful and dynamic sport, but it can also be dangerous, particularly when athletes are training and competing on outdated and potentially unsafe equipment," said Weller. "As an inventor, I believe that it is our responsibility to use technology to make sport safer for athletes at all levels. I urge industry leaders to take a closer look at Weller Floor’s patented variable pitch engineering and to prioritize the safety of gymnasts."

Weller's call to action comes as reports of gymnastics injuries continue to make headlines, with athletes at all levels experiencing strains, sprains, and more serious injuries. Weller Spring Floor has been independently tested and shown to reduce the risk of injury in gymnasts, making it an important development for the sport.
