The shells must have a margin of safety and correspond to the age of the students;
There should be enough free space around each simulator or projectile;
All belt, block structures must be carefully adjusted;

The basis of the gym: sports floor covering
The covering for gyms should be strong, durable and safe. For gyms, a polymer rubber coating with shock absorption is often chosen – it dampens noises and bumps, prevents slipping and provides high adhesion to the sole of the shoe. The design of the coating can be different – the choice depends on your preferences. Such a coating serves for a very long time, is not afraid of wet cleaning and intensive operation.
The second convenient option is a sports parquet. It has high strength and resistance to wear, is immune to shocks and point loads. Such a floor serves for a very long time, reduces the risk of slipping and injury, and also has good depreciation rates, which removes part of the load on the joints. Birch, ash and maple are used for the manufacture of sports parquet.
