Rotational traction of soccer football shoes on a hybrid reinforced turf system and natural grass

Traction between a football shoe and the playing surface influences players’ ability to perform football-specific movements. Too little traction means player might slip. much is thought increase risk of injury due foot fixation on turf. Rotational linked increased in football. Elite increasingly played hybrid reinforced natural grass surfaces. Our aim assess magnitude rotational one new turf system compare that (control) surface. Nine different Football shoes from three outsole groups (artificial grass, firm ground, soft ground) were loaded onto portable shoe-surface machine collect data two surfaces (1. Natural Rye 2. A system) at single testing session. Peak was significantly across models (F = 379.8, df 8, p < 0.0001) 387.4, 2, .0001). No significant difference found after considering minimal detectable change (MDC) device. Wide-ranging differences peak individual soccer groups. The Adidas Nemesis (AG) showed lowest Nike Vision (SG) had highest (MD 28.7 N.m; 95% CIs 26.4–30.9; 0.0001). artificial group values while ground highest. This objective can help with more informed footwear choices for this type minimize lower extremity injury.
