Natural turfgrass sports fields can be highly variable depending on construction, usage, and
management. Research involving athlete–surface interactions often fails to thoroughly …

Introduction 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 …

Objective: To summarize the current literature that describes the gendered environments of
women′ s sports which are higher risk for ACL injury, and determine whether the existing …

Natural turfgrass sports field properties exhibit within-field variations due to foot traffic from
play, field construction, management, and weather. Little is known about the influences …

Traction between a football shoe and the playing surface influences a players' ability to
perform football-specific movements. Too little traction means a player might slip. Too much …

The urgency of addressing the climate crisis has heightened the need to make sustainable
decisions. Universities and research institutions are uniquely able to help develop and …

Natural turfgrass football pitches are variable across a competitive season. However, short-
term variability has not been explored to the same extent, specifically in stadium …

Within-field variability of surface characteristics has been found to impact athlete injuries,
performance, and perceptions about a surface. Ankle-worn inertial measurement units allow …

The present study was conducted to explore the spatiotemporal relationship between
several plant and soil properties on two natural turfgrass sports fields comprised of native …
