ORLANDO, Fla., May 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mondo, a global leader in the sports flooring market, will display its state-of-the-art weight room and running surface products as a returning exhibitor at the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association Annual National Conference and 10-Year Anniversary Celebration, May 5-7 at the Marriott World Center in Orlando, Fla.
Mondo has been a sponsor and the official supplier of weight room and running surface solutions for the CSCCa since 2006. The CSCCa comprises strength and conditioning coaches from colleges and universities around the country.
At the conference, Mondo will showcase its Inlaid Platforms. Featuring an integrated, completely flat surface, Mondo's Inlaid Platforms are made from durable Sport Impact and Ramflex vulcanized rubber flooring and are specially designed to withstand heavy static and dynamic loads, such as free weights and cardiovascular equipment. The surfaces are non-porous and antibacterial throughout, so they eliminate odor and hygiene issues, and they do not require coatings or finishes.
"Mondo's Inlaid Platforms are ideal for strength and conditioning areas because they are perfectly flat, which eliminates any cleaning and tripping issues that can be caused by platform height differences," said Federico Stroppiana, president of Mondo North and South America. "It also enables facilities to maximize their exercise space, giving them a lot of flexibility with their programming."
In addition, Sport Impact and Ramflex have received GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. This means they have been tested for indoor pollutant emissions using stringent environmental chamber methods and meet strict requirements for maintaining healthy indoor air in businesses and commercial buildings. Products that are GREENGUARD Certified contribute minimal levels of pollutants to indoor environments.
