Sports surface design is crucial for the successful performance of
sports skills and the reduction of injury risk. Surfaces have
developed from natural materials such as turf, clay and cinder, to
synthetic surfaces such as acrylic tennis courts, artificial turf
for soccer and synthetic running tracks, while our understanding of
natural turf has developed in terms of properties appropriate for
different sports and surface sustainability. This book draws
together the very latest research on biomechanical, medical and
engineering approaches to the study of sports surfaces. Written by
a team of leading international sport scientists, engineers and
technologists, the book covers every key aspect of surface
development and design, including: surface behaviour surface
classification, function, construction and maintenance influence of
surfaces on player performance and injury surface test methods and
monitoring development of natural turf and synthetic surfaces
shoe-turf interaction future developments in sports surface
technology. Representing the most comprehensive and up-to-date
study of sports surfaces, this book is important reading for all
researchers and professionals working in sports technology, sports
engineering, biomechanics or sports medicine.
