| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses artificial turf, focusing on the potential for sports injuries to occur on artificial surfaces. Overviews studies conducted on natural and artificial turf, focusing on soccer injuries. Reports that "the overall conclusions of the nine published studies tracking soccer injuries is that there is no difference in overall injury risk when playing on infilled synthetic turf compared to natural grass." Mentions reports released by the National Football League (NFL), noting that "the NFL Injury and Safety Panel reported considerably higher incidences of knee and ankle injuries on infilled synthetic surfaces than on grass." Summarizes how mechanical traction testing is conducted and utilized, and concludes that there is little supporting research for higher injury rates on artificial surfaces. |
