| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews the unsafe surface hardness levels of artificial turf and its possible causes. Summarizes research done at Penn State University which concluded that "'walk-off' crumb rubber and the associated loss of infill depth is the main cause for increases in surface hardness of synthetic turf fields." Suggests that "once infill levels begin to drop by more than several millimeters, it is time to topdress additional rubber onto those areas." Notes that "proper maintenance practices, including monitoring infill levels and adding infill when necessary, are the key to providing a playing surface that maximizes both playability and safety." |
