Drawing on recent work in sport studies, business and management, health, science, and
law, this book offers a critical examination of the latest published research on sport and …

There are concerns regarding high surface temperatures on synthetic grass sports surfaces
influencing the surrounding thermal environment, potentially increasing heat stress and …

There are increasing concerns over the human heat stress and burn risks of using artificial
turf in private outdoor spaces such as backyards. This study aimed to compare the …

Artificial turf (AT) sports fields have increasingly replaced natural turf (NT). High AT material-
cum-air temperature incurs heat-stress impacts on athletes, demanding better …

In the last decade, due to prolonged and persisting drought conditions, California initially
restricted water for outdoor landscape irrigation, and subsequently offered turf removal …

Background and objectives: Many athletic governing bodies are adopting on-site
measurement of the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) as part of their heat safety policies …

The replacement of turf lawns with water-wise landsca** has become a common tactic for
water conservation in drought-prone cities and is often incentivized through rebate programs …

Artificial turf can develop unusually high surface temperature on hot sunny days. Solar and
terrestrial radiant energy regimes as key determinants of thermal performance deserve …

The number of artificial turf fields in cities has increased due to increased pressure on
outside sport facilities caused by a higher population density. Downsides of these fields are …

Surfaces of artificial turf have been continuously improved to resemble the characteristics
and properties of natural grass. Nevertheless, these improvements are still unable to prevent …
