Abstract/Contents:"To improve the understanding of human-surface interactions in sport, integrated studies combining biomechanical and surface mechanical testing and modelling methods are required. This paper reports on interim findings from a three year study in the UK that investigates the behaviour of humans and natural turf surfaces during running. The objective was to determine the relationship between surface stiffness and vertical forces applied by humans when running. Using a portable pitch system, forces and movements for nine male subjects performing a running movement were characterised. These experiments determined that the loading rate on sand soil was significantly greater than on a clay loam soil (p < 0.05). The dynamic stiffness of the same materials was determined in a modified dynamic triaxial testing apparatus. This determined that the dynamic stiffness was significantly greater (p < 0.001) in the sand soil than the clay soil (explaining the observed biomechanical loading rate results). Furthermore the same experiment determined that the dynamic stiffness of a particular soil was dependent on the loading rate-as the soils were loaded more quickly, they became more stiff (p < 0.001). When a clay soil is dried, its dynamic stiffness increases. These data have direct input into the understanding of how humans interact with sports surfaces and how the surface responds."
