摘要
Sports fields have evolved in design, construction, and maintenance toward complex multiuse venues that host several different types of events. Low-end sports fields such as public fields, parks, and recreation fields often suffer from limited care and excessive wear. High-end fields suffer from problems of an altered microenvironment due to modern trends in high-capacity stadia designs and from increasing wear caused by nonsporting and sporting events. Regardless, sports fields must obey a determined sport%26apos;s regulations, offering adequate playability and providing a safe playing surface for the players. An aesthetically well-presented sports field can also enhance the game experience for both players and viewers. Interactions between sports fields, players, and the ball are key to safety and playability. Such interactions are influenced by field construction, turfgrass choice, and maintenance practices. Poor quality sports fields can impair playability and increase injury potential, especially knee anterior cruciate ligament injuries, one of the most common injuries in sports. This review provides a compilation of research techniques attempting to quantify sports turf playability: wear and wear simulation, ball rebound resilience, coefficient of restitution, ball roll, spin and friction, friction and traction, and surface hardness; their relationship with player safety; and, finally, we present new ideas on the future and improvement of sports turf research.
