| Abstract/Contents: | Explores whether "football injuries are more likely on certain artificial turf fields." Claims that "rates for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and eversion ankle sprains (where the foot twists outward) are significantly higher in the National Football League (NFL) games played on FieldTurf, an artificial playing surface, as compared to natural grass." Provides statistics for NFL player injuries that occurred during the 2002-2008 seasons. Calls for more research into these questions, and concludes that "many NFL players prefer FieldTurf because it is softer and more comfortable to land on than other playing surfaces such as natural grass, but the more that NFL players play on this surface, the more prone they are to injury." |
