Abstract
A resilient mat upon which people can walk or stand includes a pattern of punctiformed portions extending upwardly from an upper side of the mat and a pattern of punctiformed portions extending downwardly from an underside of the mat (to contact an underlying support surface), the upwardly- and downwardly-extending portions being offset from one another so that the upwardly-extending, punctiformed portions will move resiliently downwardly in a direction between downwardly-extending punctiformed portions when subjected to downward force from the foot of a person thereon.
