A report on the official study entitled: “Incidence, Mechanisms, and Severity of Game-Related College Football Injuries on FieldTurf Versus Natural Grass: A Three-Year Prospective Study”.

The published research concludes that college football games played on FieldTurf synthetic turf playing surfaces resulted in statistically fewer and less severe injuries than those played on natural grass. The peer-reviewed study is published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
This report does not necessarily support the findings reported by an 2008 NFL players opinion study report in our earlier blog, March 2, 2009.
