| Abstract/Contents: | Reports that research done by the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) has shown a 20% increase in player injuries in 1984 over 1983. Players credit this to expanded use of artificial turf as a major playing turf. The amount of injuries accruing on natural turf remained unchanged over the same period. Outdoor stadiums with artificial turf had the highest regular rate of injuries due to exposure of turf. Testing by the NCAA (National Colligate Athletic Association) has reinforced the NFCPA findings. Further testing of Astro turf by the NFCPA is required to fight the rising injury rate in football today. |
