Effects of Playing Surface on Physical, Physiological and Perceptual Responses to a Repeated Sprint Ability Test: Natural Grass Versus Artificial Turf.

CONCLUSION:: These findings suggest that RSA performance is enhanced on AT compared to NG. This effect was accompanied by lower fatigue perception and blood [Lac], [NEU] and [LYM], and a more pleasurable feeling. These observations might have implications for physical performance in intermittent team sports athletes who train and compete on different playing surfaces.
