| Abstract/Contents: | There are two primary types of sport surfaces: natural turfgrass and synthetic turf. Natural turfgrass fields are primarily separated by species and root-zone construction, while synthetic turf (for the purpose of this research) can be separated into the presence or absence of a shock pad. Field testing helps ensure a high-quality sports surface for athletic competition. Energy dissipation is a new variable for consideration in field testing by measuring waves caused by a force applied to the surface. From an athlete standpoint, if energy is returned at the correct time, it can lead to performance gains; however, when returned at the wrong time, it can degrade performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate energy dissipation between six sports surfaces from forces applied with a Clegg Impact Tester at several distances away from a stationary accelerometer. The surfaces tested were bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon L. (Pers.) x C. traansvalensis, Burtt-Davy] and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis, L.), each on a United States Golf Association specification sand-based rootzone and Sequatchie silt loam native soil, as well as two different synthetic turf system configurations (with and without a shock pad). An accelerometer was placed at a fixed location on each surface, surface hardness (Gmax) measurements were taken with a Clegg from 0.15, 0.3, 0.9, 1.5, 2.1, 4.6, and 6.1 m away from the fixed location. The stationary accelerometer was used to obtain maximum accelerations (gravities) and median frequency (Hz) of the surface waves created. Surface hardness was highest on the Kentucky bluegrass native root-zone and the synthetic turf with no shock pad and lowest on the sand-based root-zones. The highest maximal acceleration was on native root-zones. Conclusions were not able to be made from the median frequency, however further research is warranted to investigate due to visible differences. |
