Influence of the artificial turf certification on physical performance and muscle damage in football players (QUALTURF PROJECT)
Abstract This study aimed to analyse the influence of the FIFA Quality PRO certification of artificial turf pitches on the physical, physiological performance and muscle damage in soccer players. Fifteen healthy male players (21.2 ± 1.4 years; 178.2 ± 4.3 cm; 79.1 ± 8.3 kg) from a university footbal...
