“…While traditionally played on natural grass, the economic benefits of artificial grass have seen an adoption of these playing surfaces around the world. Lower maintenance costs and increased pitch availability means artificial grass surfaces can save clubs approximately $2,255 AUD annually ($3074 AUD in 2023 dollars based on the consumer price index) as well as 515 man-hours in maintenance and upkeep [ 2 ]. As shown in Figure 1 , fourth-generation artificial grass consists of tufted fibre, a rubber performance infill, a supporting sand infill, and a shock absorption layer.…”

Soccer is played by a variety of individuals with varying abilities. The complicated lower limb movements involved within the game often lead to knee and ankle injuries, with anterior cruciate ligament injuries being the most severe with regard to rehabilitation time and ongoing health risks. This research explores the biomechanical kinematics of male and female soccer players on synthetic grass to determine whether trends in lower limb biomechanics over a variety of movements could explain injury risk. Both male and female players (n = 10) aged between 19 and 24 years performed running-based and stationary-start movements. Biomechanical measurements at the hip, knee, and ankle were recorded. Observations showed that specific differences in joint angles were largely dependent on the movements performed; however, for male players, on average, across all movements, 84.6% and 72.6% of the variation in joint angles could be explained by internal/external rotation at the hip and knee, respectively. For female players, internal/external knee rotation, as well as hip abduction and adduction, accounted for 83.6% and 80.2% of the variation in joint angles, respectively, across all the tested movements. This highlights the importance of hip mechanics and knee alignment for players when performing a variety of movements.

The turfgrass program at Michigan State University has recently dedicated and focused its research on sports turf management. There are three major areas of research: (1) the indoor turfgrass project, (2) the use of crumb rubber from used tires, and (3) management of high sand-based root zone athletic fields. The indoor turf project stemmed from the 1994 World Cup Soccer Matches involving the installation and maintenance of a portable turfgrass system in the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. The majority of the research for this project was completed in a 600-m2 dome constructed on the Michigan State University campus specifically for this project. The crumb rubber project was initiated in 1990 and nine experiments were used to investigate the incorporation of crumb rubber from used tires into the soil profile and at the turf-soil interface of turf systems to improve turfgrass wear tolerance and reduce soil compaction. The sand-based root zone turf project was initiated in 1992 to investigate establishment and management scenarios specific to these areas. A 334-m2 field was constructed to investigate these practices. Initial studies dealt with the establishment of either Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) or perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) with different fertilizer management regimes.
