| Abstract/Contents: | A study has shown that 20% of all high school football related injuries were field related. Practice fields were harder than game fields. It was suggested that the harder playing surface increased injuries. Aerification of practice fields and game fields would soften those surfaces and reduce field related injuries. The optimal field conditions are: level, firmly sodded fields, lacking debris such as glass, stones and other foriegn material, the absence of small holes and grooves, ample sideline room, padded equipment such as goalposts and fences that are close to the field. Michigan State University adheres to these practices. |
