A comparison of cleat types during two football-specific tasks on FieldTurf
| The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below. |
This study compared the interactions of cleat types on FieldTurf for two common football tasks: side and cross cut manoeuvres. Given the increase in prevalence of artificial/synthetic playing field surfaces, attention to complementary footwear, in particular to cleat design, is warranted to potentially augment performance and reduce foot injuries. Using in-shoe pressure sensor soles, differences in foot loading patterns were shown among cleat designs and between male and female subjects. These mechanical differences should be considered by players, coaches and athletic trainers, and studied further to identify possible links to foot injuries.
