Unlocking Gymnastics Performance: The Power of Weller Floor's Innovative Design
Revolutionizing Safety and Performance with Advanced Engineering
In the dynamic world of gymnastics, performance and safety are paramount. As athletes strive for excellence, the equipment they train on plays a crucial role in their success and well-being. At King Bars Sports, LLC, we've dedicated ourselves to revolutionizing gymnastics safety and performance through cutting-edge technology and innovative design.
Nellie Kim, VP International Gymnastics Federation (FIG)
“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.”
Superior Rate of Force Development
Our journey begins with an exploration of Weller Floor's unique design and its superior rate of force development. When a gymnast lands on the Weller Floor, the springs compress rapidly, producing a high rate of force development that is absorbed by the gymnast's body. This rapid absorption of force reduces the impact of the landing, minimizing the risk of injury. Additionally, Weller Floor offers a controlled rebound effect during the upward motion, allowing gymnasts to achieve optimal performance while minimizing strain on their bodies.
Weller produces a higher rate of force development on the downward motion and a lower rate of force development on the upward motion, which translates to safer landings, more power on takeoff, greater control over movements, and more time in the air.
Meticulous Tuning for Enhanced Safety
In our pursuit of safety and performance excellence, we've meticulously tuned every aspect of Weller Floor to closely match the response of a gymnast's movements. Just like a diver adjusting the fulcrum for an ideal take-off, Weller Spring Floor is finely tuned to match the natural frequency of athletes' movements, ensuring minimized strain and reducing the risk of injuries. This precision engineering allows gymnasts of different sizes and weights to achieve consistent and controlled rebounds, enhancing both safety and performance.
🌟 Fine-Tuned for Gymnasts: The Weller Advantage! 🤸♀️✨
Dear Gymnastics Enthusiasts,
Ever wondered about the perfect "tuning" for gymnastics? Look no further! Weller Spring Floor goes beyond the ordinary, providing a precisely tuned experience for every athlete.
🎵 The Art of Tuning:
Adjustable Support: No more one-size-fits-all. The Weller system adapts to the weight and movement of each gymnast, ensuring optimal support. All sizes/weight get comparable bounce!
Reduced Vibrations: Our patented technology reduces vibrations with smoother acceleration, allowing for a smoother and more controlled performance.
Balanced Rebounding: Say goodbye to wild bounces! Weller Spring Floor's tuned response enhances timing and reduces the risk of injury.
🔍 The Weller Difference:
✅ Proper Tuning: Each element - force, impulse, vibration - is tuned for an athlete-centric experience.
✅ Easier on Athletes: With a closer-matched response, Weller Spring Floor is designed to be EASIER ON THE ATHLETE™.

Unmatched Stability and Control
Weller Floor goes beyond just absorbing impact forces; it also provides unmatched stability and control. Even at full deflection, Weller Floor maintains stability, ensuring a safe and consistent surface for athletes to train on. Our patented technology reduces vibrations with smoother acceleration, allowing for a smoother and more controlled performance. Moreover, the resultant forces produced by Weller Floor are distributed more evenly, minimizing the risk of injury and optimizing performance. This stability and control empower gymnasts to push the boundaries of their sport safely and confidently.
Weller Spring Floor maintains its stability even at full deflection, whereas the cylindrical floor loses stability and "goes solid."
Experience greater control with Weller Spring Floor's lower frequency and smoother acceleration compared to traditional cylindrical floors.

“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.”
Enhanced Energy Dissipation
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.
Weller Floor has also been shown to have a lower impulse and impulse duration than the cylindrical floor. This means that when a gymnast lands or jumps on Weller Spring Floor, the force is spread out over a longer period of time, which can lead to a smoother landing and reduced risk of injury.
FIG Apparatus Drop Test conducted at AAI’s Iowa plant in 2008
FIG Floor Apparatus Test Results
Data showed Weller Spring Floor meets FIG requirement, that impact time is longer, and post impact floor vibration is reduced significantly in intensity and duration. The displacement data proves a closer matched response to the athlete.
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 Dissipation: 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.

Sadly, we believe that the floor and vault board are major contributors to Achilles tendon and other injuries. In my view, there is a problem with apparatus design that has its genesis in a lack of understanding of the nature of impact, vibration, and energy return of the apparatus.

Why Gymnasts LOVE Weller Spring Floor
Most Frequently Asked Question
Q: Is it difficult for gymnasts to train on Weller Floor and compete on other floors?
A: Gymnasts LOVE training on Weller Floor because the forgiving nature of the floor allows more training with fewer injuries. Legs, knees, ankles, and Achilles feel better so having fresh legs is a competitive advantage. The loading is identical to other floors so it’s just not an issue, otherwise.
