One of the most important variables is the shoe-surface interface. Synthetic playing surfaces were first introduced in the 1960s to provide children in inner cities with equal access to sports and other physical activities. 2 The overall

Apr 30, 2019 · An optimal range of shoe-surface traction (grip) exists to improve performance and minimise injury risk. Little information exists regarding the magnitude of traction forces at shoe-surface interface across a full season of elite football (soccer) using common football shoes.

The shoe-surface interface has been implicated as a possible risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The purpose of this study is to develop a biomechani-cal, cadaveric model to evaluate the effect of various shoe-surface interfaces on ACL strain. There will be a significant difference in ACL strain between different shoe ...

Studies have been conducted evaluating everything from injury patterns (12,15,16,19,21,22) to the CoF (3,5,7-9) to determine a safe shoe-surface interaction.

Background: Turning or cutting on a planted foot may be an important inciting event for lower limb injury, particularly when shoe-surface traction is high. We systematically reviewed the relationship between shoe-surface interaction and lower-extremity injury in football sports.

Purpose: To examine shoe-surface interactions on newer field designs and compare these with more traditional shoe-surface combinations. The peak torque and rotational stiffness (the rate at which torque is developed under rotation) were determined.

We use the term “traction” to distinguish friction-like shoe-surface interactions to which the classical laws of friction do τ not apply. The traction coefficient , describes the ratio of traction force and normal force, just as μ describes the ratio of friction force and normal force.

The evolution of synthetic playing surfaces began in the 1960s and has had an impact on field use, shoe-surface dynamics, and the incidence of sports-related injuries. Modern third-generation turfs are being installed in recreational facilities and professional stadiums worldwide.

Nov 1, 2012 · This review discusses the history of artificial surfaces, the biomechanics of the shoe-surface interface, and some common turf-related lower extremity injuries.

Mar 13, 2015 · By contrast, some reports based on data collected from lower-level athletes suggest that artificial turf may protect against injury. This review discusses the history of artificial surfaces, the biomechanics of the shoe-surface interface, and some common turf-related lower extremity injuries.
