Abstract<? Pub Inc> For the past forty years footwear traction has been thought to be one of
the causes of non-contact lower extremity injury in sport. Previous studies have shown that …

Football fields of artificial turf are in constant evolution. The resulting improvements have
given rise to a large diversity of structural components. There are various types of infill and …

The traction forces produced between an athlete's footwear and the playing surface are a
crucial factor influencing a player's performance. Four primary factors affecting traction have …

During sports movements the cleats (also termed studs) penetrate and interlock with the
playing surface generating traction forces. The ability to generate traction between a player's …

ASTM F2333 is a test method for quantifying traction characteristics between an athletic
shoe and a sports surface. This standard calls for normal loads of 500—3000N to be applied …

Previous studies have linked footwear traction to lower extremity non-contact injury;
however, these studies mainly focussed on rotational traction exclusively. While studies …

The traction forces generated during studded boot‐surface interactions affect player
performance and injury risk. Over 20 years of empirical research into traction on third …
