The aim of this research is to understand the experience of the football sector on the use of artificial turf (satisfaction, safety, sporting feature, or the advantages and disadvantages). The study was conducted on a random selection of 627 male participants (404 amateur/semi-professional footballers, 101 coaches and 122 referees) that regularly train/compete on artificial turf in Spanish football leagues. The results of the skin abrasion, muscle strain and the possibility of sustaining an injury, on a Likert-type 10-point interval scale, gave a perception of 'somewhat dissatisfied' for the participants. The main advantages of artificial turf were their sports features, the evenness of the surface and the good state of conservation. Participants were satisfied with the artificial turf surface. Approximately three out of four participants gave an overall ranking of highly satisfied. The players were significantly less satisfied than the coaches and referees. The overall satisfaction with artificial turf fields was strongly influenced by previous experience, particularly those who had previously played on dirt pitches. These results highlight the versatility of artificial turf to adapt to any circumstance or requirement for local sport and top-level professional competitions alike.
本研究旨在了解足球领域对人造草皮的使用体验（满意度、安全性、运动性能、优缺点）。研究对象为随机抽取的 627 名男性参与者（404 名业余/半职业足球运动员、101 名教练和 122 名裁判），他们定期在西班牙足球联赛的人造草皮上训练/比赛。参与者对皮肤擦伤、肌肉拉伤和受伤可能性的评估结果为 10 分制的“有些不满意”。人造草皮的主要优点是其运动性能、表面平整度和良好的保养状况。参与者对人造草皮表面感到满意。大约四分之三的参与者总体满意度评价为非常满意。球员的满意度明显低于教练和裁判。对人造草皮场地的总体满意度强烈受到先前经验的影响，特别是那些曾在泥地球场踢球的人。这些结果突出了人造草皮的多功能性，它可以适应任何情况或当地运动和顶级职业比赛的要求。
