Sports wood flooring plays a core role in ensuring the safety of athletes
Its excellent impact absorption performance is one of the key guarantees. When athletes jump, stop suddenly, turn and perform other actions on the floor, there will be a strong impact force between the body and the ground. High-quality sports wood flooring can absorb at least 30% – 50% of this impact force, effectively relieving the pressure on the athlete’s joints and muscles. Taking basketball as an example, players frequently jump and shoot, fight for rebounds and land. The good impact absorption of the floor can greatly reduce the incidence of sports injuries such as knee meniscus injury and ankle sprain, and escort the joint health of athletes.
Precisely controlled friction coefficient is another important line of defense for sports safety. The surface friction coefficient of sports wood flooring is strictly maintained between 0.4 and 0.7. Within this reasonable range, the floor will not be too smooth, causing athletes to slip and get injured during fast running and fierce confrontation; nor will it be too astringent, hindering the flexible movement of athletes’ feet and affecting the performance of movements, ensuring that athletes can maintain body balance and safely complete technical movements in various sports scenarios.
In addition, the structural stability of sports wood flooring is crucial. The load-bearing layer adopts a single or double keel structure. The keel has been treated with anti-corrosion, and the large-scale panels of the stabilizing layer can withstand the heavy pressure generated by many athletes exercising at the same time, ensuring that the floor will not deform or collapse under long-term high-intensity use. The stable structure provides a reliable support foundation for athletes, allowing them to devote themselves to competition and training without worrying about the hidden dangers of the floor structure during exercise, which fundamentally guarantees sports safety.
