| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper reviews two current and two emerging test methods for the impact assessment of sports surfaces for a variety of different sports including field hockey, soccer/rugby and sports hall floors. A good quality sports surface should enable a player to demonstrate and develop their skills, and limit the risk of injury. To ensure surfaces meet these requirements (in part) many sports governing bodies stipulate a series of (impact) tests to assess the surface shock absorption. Current industry standard impact tests have some shortcomings for either routine use and/or for research purposes. In this paper the impact performance requirements of a surface are briefly reviewed, and the four measurement methods explained. The emerging test methods are contrasted to the conventional ones, via a series of comparative data from several programmes of research. The paper concludes that there is a place for both simple 'ranking' tests, suitable for routine use and that are comparable to the more complex sport performance tests, and for a more sophisticated engineering test that is both a suitable substitute for the industry standard methods and that better describes the behaviour of the sports surface under test." |
