Incidence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury as a Function of Gender, Sport, and Injury-Reduction Programs
2018, The Anterior Cruciate Ligament: Reconstruction and Basic Science: Second EditionMechanisms for regulating step length while running towards and over an obstacle
2016, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :Runners were given at least 10–15 m before and after the curb to reach and maintain a self-selected running speed and style. The surface stiffness was measured with an impulse force hammer (Kistler 9726A) that was modified to measure the deceleration of a free falling mass (hammer) from a set height (40 cm) onto a surface (following Clegg, 1976; Nigg & Yeadon, 1987; Orchard, 2001; Pinnington & Dawson, 2001; Sifers & Beard, 1997). The output can be used to measure the stiffness or peak impact deceleration force exerted by the surface.
Can the natural turf pitch be viewed as a risk factor for injury within Association Football?
2016, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Within football objective measures of pitch hardness derived from devices such as the Clegg hammer8–11 have been reported but no studies have linked the values to the incidence of injuries. Other sports have used equipment such as the Clegg hammer,18,22,23 or the Penetrometer22,24–26 to gain objective measurements of hardness though a lack of consistency with respect to the equipment and protocols used impacts on transferability and applicability.22 Consequently, the available research may not have (a) effectively determined a true representation of the pitch hardness or (b) evaluated how this variable may directly influence the risk of injury.

2013, Foot and Ankle ClinicsThe relationship between ground conditions and injury: What level of evidence do we have?
2013, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Ground conditions were not significantly associated with injury risk and injuries were most frequently associated with grounds considered OK (40.2%), followed by soft (29.5%) and hard (11.5%) grounds. Overall, studies in Australian Rules football have demonstrated a non significant relationship between ground conditions and injuries.5,10,40,41 Interestingly studies with elite AFL players (that objectively measured ground conditions) identified an increased risk when ground conditions were classified as harder, which is in contrast to junior level where injuries were most frequently associated with firm, OK or soft grounds.
