“…DJ jump height was lower on SAND than RIGID, being in line with past research results concerning the comparison of SQJ and CMJ on different surfaces [ 11 , 29 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 45 , 46 ]. The ground contact time was in considerable agreement with past findings [ 47 , 48 ].…”

“…The present finding also cannot support research evidence which suggested that performing SSC on SAND is related to the muscle action during the propulsive phase that resulted by the compensation made in the braking phase in terms of the degradation of elastic energy [ 10 , 13 ]. However, previous studies for the CMJ on SAND reported a significant effect of surface for the knee [ 45 ] and ankle joint kinematics [ 36 ]. The connection between the two aforementioned joints is the biarticular gastrocnemius muscle, which can affect the ankle range of motion and can cause differences in key biomechanical factors of DJ, such as RFD and knee angular kinematics [ 64 ].…”

Plyometric training on sand is suggested to result in advanced performance in vertical jumping. However, limited information exists concerning the biomechanics of drop jumps (DJ) on sand. The purpose of the study was to compare the biomechanical parameters of DJs executed on rigid (RIGID) and sand (SAND) surface. Sixteen high level male beach-volleyball players executed DJ from 40 cm on RIGID and SAND. Force- and video-recordings were analyzed to extract the kinetic and kinematic parameters of the DJ. Results of paired-samples t-tests revealed that DJ on SAND had significantly (p < 0.05) lower jumping height, peak vertical ground reaction force, power, peak leg stiffness and peak ankle flexion angular velocity than RIGID. In addition, DJ on SAND was characterized by significantly (p < 0.05) larger rate of force development and knee joint flexion in the downward phase. No differences (p > 0.05) were observed for the temporal parameters. The compliance of SAND decreases the efficiency of the mechanisms involved in the optimization of DJ performance. Nevertheless, SAND comprises an exercise surface with less loading during the eccentric phase of the DJ, thus it can be considered as a surface that can offer injury prevention under demands for large energy expenditure.

“…Hardin et al showed that higher surface stiffness led to increasing angular velocity of the knee and ankle joint [24]. Arianasab et al found that angular velocity on the artificial turf was higher than that on the natural grass [16]. The probable cause of this matter could be the higher stiffness of artificial turf than natural grass.…”

Introduction: Nowadays, the use of artificial turf fields has become widespread. Given the high prevalence of noncontact injuries among female soccer players and high contribution of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury, this research was conducted to compare biomechanical risk factors in the incidence of ACL injury for elite female soccer players during shearing maneuver and header on the natural grass and artificial turf fields. Methods: Sixteen players were selected from U-14 women’s national team by the convenience sampling method and started to perform the skills. Knee joint information was calculated by a 3D imaging system and a force plate. Statistical differences were reported using the dependent t-test at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The findings showed that the biomechanical behavior of the lower extremity while performing soccer skills on the natural grass was affected differently from that on the artificial turf. Results also demonstrated that the torque applied to the knee joint on the natural grass was higher than that on the artificial turf (P=0.039). Angular velocity on the artificial turf was also higher than that on the natural grass (P=0.006). Conclusion: The higher knee joint torque and the lower angular velocity on natural grass may result in a higher risk of ACL injury on the natural grass than on the artificial turf. Therefore, the use of prevention programs for ACL injury is crucial to minimize the incidence of lower extremity injuries.
