Abstract

The invention relates to a sports mat which consists of a flexible material and has a longitudinal direction (L) and a transverse direction (Q) perpendicular thereto, comprising a rectangular mat longitudinal subarea (2) and a rectangular mat transverse subarea (3) which intersects the mat longitudinal subarea (2) forming a T shape, an extension of the mat longitudinal subarea (2) in the transverse direction (Q) along a leg section (6) of the T being not more than half the size than a longest transverse extension of the mat transverse subarea (Q).

Claims

1. A sports mat comprising:

a flexible material with a longitudinal direction (L) and a transverse direction (Q) provided perpendicularly thereto,

having a rectangular longitudinal mat subarea (2) and a rectangular transverse mat subarea (3) intersecting the longitudinal mat subarea (2) in a T shape, wherein an extent of the longitudinal mat subarea (2) in the transverse direction (Q) along a T-leg portion (6) is no more than half the size of a longest transverse extent of the transverse mat subarea (Q).

2. A sports mat according to claim 1, characterised in that the longitudinal mat subarea (2) and transverse mat subarea (3) intersect in a T shape.

3. A sports mat according to claim 1,

characterised in that the transverse extent of the transverse mat subarea (1) is 1.0 m±

10 cm and the longitudinal extent of the longitudinal mat subarea (2) is 1.8 m±

10 cm.

4. A sports mat according to claim 1,

characterised in that the flexible material is a material of the group comprising rubber, cellular rubber, foam rubber or soft rubber.

5. A sports mat according to claim 1,

characterised in that the transverse mat subarea (3) and the longitudinal mat subarea (2) intersect in a T shape and two triangular mat subareas are integrally formed at the two sides of the transverse mat subarea (3) which face the T-leg, which triangular mat subareas are integrally connected to a respective longitudinal side of the longitudinal mat subarea (2)

6. A sports-equipment arrangement having the sports mat (1) according to claim 1 and a step (30), characterised in that the step (30) has a step width and a step length and the transverse extent of the transverse mat subarea (3) corresponds to the step width and a longitudinal extent of the transverse mat subarea (3) corresponds to the step length and the T-leg portion (6) of the longitudinal mat subarea (2) which is remote from the transverse mat subarea (3) is supported on a floor (32) when the step (30) is standing on the floor (32).
