Surfaces for Sports Areas - Determination of Vertical Deformation
Also Known As:
The vertical deformation of sports surfaces is the main emphasis of DIN EN 14809. It offers a way to gauge how much vertical movement there is when a force is applied to a surface. Commonly known as the Artificial Athlete (Stuttgart) approach, this standard.
The standard provides reliable and consistent measurements of vertical deformation across various sports surfaces by standardizing this procedure. This is crucial because the degree of vertical movement during sporting activities can have a significant impact on athletes' performance and safety.
The standard can be used with a variety of sports surfaces, including real grass, synthetic turf, and artificial surfaces. It offers instructions on the tools and methods to employ when carrying out the measurements, ensuring the accuracy and comparability of the outcomes.
