Safety is
one of the important concerns of professional sportsmen while they
play or practice on the field. Although injuries like collisions and
falls are common in sports like football, hockey and cricket, injury
prevention are an important part of any sports regimen. From proper
warm-ups to equipment improvement measures, there are various ways to
prevent the chances of injuries. In addition to these, switching from
natural grass fields to artificial grass fields is an
important injury prevention measure.
Studies have
shown that artificial grass used in sports fields reduces
injury by 40%. This is due to the soft rubber blades of synthetic
grasses. The material used in the making of artificial turf
provides better traction and offers more consistent and better Gmax
rating. Moreover, fake grass has leveled and compacted field free
from bumps, digs, holes and mounds unlike natural grass. Therefore,
sportsmen are more safe and comfortable on the artificial field as
compared to the natural one.
Along with
the enhanced safety to the players, sports facilities that use
synthetic grass in their grounds enjoy savings of hundreds of
bucks for a number of years. By installing fake grass in the field,
one can save gallons of water and the hiring cost of gardeners and
gardening equipment. This is because no watering, mowing and seeding
are required in the maintenance of artificial fields. In contrast,
artificial grass fields have numerous advantages in comparison
to the natural grass. The only thing that artificial field owners
miss is the smell of freshly mowed grasses.
