The thermal interactions of commonly artificial sports turf systems with the immediate environment

Introduction: To date, most of the injury related research of artificial sports surfaces has centred on football surfaces. The lack of empirical data beyond football on heat stored by, and emitted from, artificial sports surfaces limit the potential improvements of artificial sports surfaces. The aim of this study is to assess the risk posed by extremely hot artificial sports surfaces and measure the potential microclimatic variations due to surface type.
