The impact of different wood hardness on ball sports

In sports wood floors, the hardness of wood directly affects the elasticity of the ball and the experience of athletes. The following is an analysis of the impact of different hardness wood on ball sports:

1. The impact of hardness of hardwood floors on ball rebound performance

·High hardness wood (such as maple):

· Good elasticity, high ball rebound performance, conducive to fast ball sports.

· Suitable for sports such as basketball and badminton, especially for professional venues.

· High hardness wood has good wear resistance, but slightly poor shock absorption performance, which may have a greater impact on athletes' joints.

·Medium hardness wood (such as oak):

· Moderate rebound performance, able to balance ball speed and sports comfort.

· Suitable for multi-functional venues and suitable for a variety of sports.

·Low hardness wood (such as pine):

· Weak elasticity, low ball rebound height, and ball speed may be limited.

· More used in non-professional venues or primary training venues, but with high comfort, suitable for children and non-competitive scenes.

2. Impact of floor hardness on athlete performance

High hardness:

· The higher the hardness of the sports floor, the more stable the floor surface, and the better support the athlete can get when moving quickly, stopping or starting suddenly.

· However, long-term training on high-hardness floors may increase the risk of injury to athletes, especially the knee and ankle joints.

Medium-low hardness:

· Relatively soft floors provide better shock absorption and protect the athlete's body, but may sacrifice a little speed and rebound performance.

3. Practical application suggestions

Professional competition venues (such as basketball courts and volleyball courts): Choose high-hardness maple or similar hardwood that meets international competition standards (such as DIN standards).

Comprehensive use venues: Choose medium-hardness oak or other wood with moderate hardness to meet multiple needs.

Leisure and children's venues: Low-hardness wood is more suitable to ensure safety and comfort.
