STUDY ON THE EVALUATION METHOD OF OUTDOOR SPORTS SURFACES FROM A VIEWPOINT OF SLIPRESISTANCE AT SLIDING

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation method of the slipresistance at sliding of outdoor sports surface. We carried out sensory test using sports surfaces and players to make the evaluation scale of slipresistance. And we showed that slipresistance measured by several slip meters didn't correspond to the evaluation scale. Then we developed new pull-slip-meter to measure the slipresistance and displacement between shoes and surface that could correspond to the evaluation scale. We presented the relationship of slipresistance and evaluation scale as an evaluating index. These results were presented as an evaluation method of the slipresistance at sliding of outdoor sports surfaces.
