1. Comfortability:
The surface of professional PVC sports floorboards can be deformed moderately when hit, just like a sealed mattress with air inside. When people fall or slip, the cushioning effect provided by the closed foam backing layer technology can minimize sports injuries.
2. Tremor problem:
Tremor refers to the range of deformation of the floor due to impact. The larger the tremor range, the easier it is to cause fractures. There are two types of tremors: point tremor and regional tremor.
3. Vibration absorption problem:
The impulse generated by people during exercise will cause vibration on the surface of PVC sports floor. The structure of the floor must have the function of vibration absorption, which means that the floor should have the performance of absorbing impact energy. The anti-impact force received by athletes on PVC sports floor is much smaller than that on hard ground, such as on cement ground. That is: when the athlete jumps and falls back to the floor, at least 53% of the impact should be absorbed by the floor, thereby protecting the athlete's ankle joint, meniscus, spinal cord, and brain, so that people will not be injured during exercise. Its protection function also takes into account that a person cannot affect the neighboring people when exercising on the PVC sports floor. This is the concept of vibration absorption, vibration deformation and extension deformation described in the German DIN standard.
4. The problem of friction coefficient:
Studies have shown that 12% of basketball players' injuries occur during rotation in place. The friction coefficient of the sports floor indicates whether the floor has too much friction (which reduces the flexibility of rotation) or is too slippery (which increases the risk of slipping). Considering the mobility and safety of athletes, the friction coefficient should be between 0.4-0.7 as the best value. The friction coefficient of PVC sports flooring is generally maintained between this coefficient. The friction coefficient of professional PVC sports flooring is 0.57. It has sufficient and moderate friction to ensure the stability of movement, and can maintain the consistency and regularity of friction performance in all directions of movement to ensure flexible movement and rotation in place without any hindrance.
5. The problem of ball rebound:
The test of ball rebound is to drop the basketball from a height of 6.6 feet onto the sports floor and test the rebound height of the basketball. This data is expressed as a percentage, with the height of the basketball rebounding on the cement floor as the comparison standard, reflecting the rebound height difference. The rules of indoor ball games require that the ground be used for sports competitions or training, such as the take-off action and the rebound of the ball in ball sports such as basketball. The rebound comparison coefficient of the ball on the ground of the competition venue should be greater than or equal to 90%. Professional PVC sports flooring has outstanding and stable ball rebound performance. There is no elastic dead point on the floor, and its rebound comparison coefficient can reach up to 98%.
6. The problem of sports energy return:
This refers to the sports energy returned by the PVC sports floor when the athlete is exercising to improve sports efficiency.
7. The problem of rolling load:
The load-bearing load, firmness and service life of professional sports floors must meet the requirements of competitions and training. For example, when the movable basketball stand and related sports facilities move on the floor, the surface and structure of the floor cannot be damaged. This is the rolling load standard and concept described by the German DIN standard.
