| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "hardness testing should be performed on-site after the infill has been added to the turf system," explaining that "while this test measures field performance, it can also be related to safety. The impact from a fall is either absorbed by the player, equipment, or the field. Fields that are too hard can present an elevated risk of injury to the users. Fields that are too soft can present player performance problems." |
