Abstract

In this research a double diamond method was used to redesign a gymnastic crashmat to enable easier transportation without reducing its functionality. This was done since the presence of such mats is questionable in event halls, mainly in international competitions. This makes it impossible for athletes to make use of crashmats during training and warming up in these event halls. While current crashmats are big and harsh to transport, there was a need for transportable crashmats to have a safe and secure feeling when going to (international) events.
