After the olympics everyone has heard about the tracks made of tartan. This is a porous synthetic material with which the running tracks. And the name coincidence with the Scottish fabric is no coincidence. He tartan is a trademark, The material was initially developed by the 3M company that already invented the Scotch tape and has the tradition of the Scottish names (such as a Scotch-Brite sponge), so for this product also the name of the fabric.
The particularity of the material is its porosity which contributes to amortization when running and this causes less pain in the athlete's joints. In each of the strides of a runner the foot hits the ground with a weight of 2 a 5 times your weight recorded on the scale.
To take advantage of these cushioning properties, the use of tracks is militated against shoes with nails and contact with sand should be avoided., talcum or chalk, used in some cases to make a mark in the distance.
Due to the hardness of the granite after the complaints of athletes, the organization decided to cover the circuit with a plaid of 4 mm and very hard, in comparison with 8 mm of grind and higher porosity.
Tartan It is the name of a pioneering product, it was like a generic name given to this type of materials, although at present there are a large number of companies that are dedicated to its manufacture.
In addition to the tartan track there is also another material used for the construction of athletic tracks, This is called Mondo. Synthetic material but of greater hardness that is used more in athletics competitions, since a higher speed is achieved although it is less used in long tests.
