| Abstract/Contents: | "The hardness of a football field is not only of the utmost importance regarding the risks of injuries for the footballers, it influences the football games too because it is not possible to forsee the ball rebound. In this context, it seems therefore essential to test the hardness of the new-developed hybrid lawns. The Clegg Impact Soil Tester (CIST) allows to measure and quantify the hardness of a surface. Because originally this device was utilised primarily in the road construction, there are only a few studies on it's use on the surfaces of sport fields or on hybrid lawn systems of football fields. That may be the reason why some disagreements about the various methods exist and that, until now, no valuation guidelines were published over the classification of football field hardness made with the help of CIST. This article questions how and to what extend the different lawn systems (natural grass lawn or hybrid grass lawn) vary significantly when considering their specific hardness degree and how it may be possible to evaluate the data of the various football field lawn systems taken with the help of CIST. The goal of this research work is to present the first guidance to interpret the results, measured with CIST, dependent on different pitch systems. Overall eight football pitches were testet respectively two of each system. In this case, we speak about natural lawn, systems with matting, hybrid turf system for root zone layer, stitched systems. The test results reveal an obvious difference in the hardness of the soccer pitches and also that the fields covered with an hybrid turf system are harder than play field covered with a natural lawn. It is necessary to interpret the data taken with CIST in a lawn conform context depending on the system. Correlations in this context allow a clear reduction in taking measurements." |
