Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Product Innovation in Football Performance SurfaceFoot - Shoe - System Injury Prevention H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Comfort Injury Statistics High injury rates (13-35 injuries per 1000 h) (Giza, 2003) 64%-88% lower extremities (Ekstrand, 1983) 17%-21% Ankle and 20 % Knee (ACL: 64% Stop to continue sport) (Orchard, 2001) H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Reasons for Football Injuries? • Risk: Time in Season • Risk: Fatigue • Risk: Pre-Injuries • Risk: Missing muscular control • Risk: Football boot / ground conditions • Others……. H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Risk: Football boot / Ground conditions Fóotball Simulation Robot Traction Test Cadaver tests – Studs to minimize direct injuries HPL Uni Calgary H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Turf Slip resistance ¾ horizontal movement related to players perception ¾ the deceleration of the foot during stops H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Turf Traction ¾ needed for change of direction ¾ measures torque necessary to start the motion of a studded sole H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Turf H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 FIFA Quality Concept for Artificial Turf H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 adidas Football - Artificial Turf adidas Traction Tester Applied Normal Load (700 N) Load cell providing force measurement Laptop to record force-time output Test Boot Actuator H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 adidas Traction Tester Starting (Translational Movement) Representative of a player pushing off for a sprint Performance +++ Injury Prevention + H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 adidas Traction Tester Turning (Rotational Movement) Injury Prevention +++ Performance + (excessive rotational traction is correlated with injuries) H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Pivot point of the traction tester Representative of a player performing a quick turn adidas benchmark Goal: Quantify traction values of adidas football shoes on FIFA recommended artificial turfs Objectives traction benchmark of 4 well-established and successful shoe-natural grass combinations Compare natural grass combinations to 6 shoe types on 4 artificial turf samples under dry and wet conditions H.

H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 Study with Football Players: stud configurations and knee injuries University of Freiburg Benchmark of different stud configurations (traditional Studs versus TraXion studs). Measure the influence on specific loads of the human skeleton (especially the knee). H. Koerger, Sheffield 2007 m. vastus medialis m. biceps fem. m. gastrocnemius m. tibialis anterior m. peroneaus H.
