9、4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The dynamic interaction between the athlete and thesurface is significant to the performance, comfort, and possiblythe safety of the athlete. Therefore, the ability of the surface toreduce impact forces is important. This test method provides anon-destructive means for e
10、valuating the force reduction prop-erties of a surface in both laboratory and field settings. Impactforces are recorded by releasing a 20 kg mass and allowing itto impact a spring resting on a test foot resting on the surface.The force reduction of the surface is presented as a percentageof the redu
11、ction in the impact forces produced on the testsurface, compared to the impact force generated on a rigidsurface. This test method is more closely associated with theimpacts generated by the lower extremities, and is not anindication of the ability of the test surface to prevent headinjury trauma.5.
12、 Significance and Use5.1 The force reduction property is just one of the importantproperties of a surface used for athletic activity. It may be anindicator of the performance, safety, comfort, or suitability ofthe surface.5.2 Manufacturers of athletic surfaces may use this testmethod to evaluate the
13、 effects of design changes on the impactforces generated on the surface.5.3 Facility owners may use this standard to evaluate theperformance of existing sport/athletic surfaces.
