The studded outsole of a soccer boot provides additional traction to players to minimise the risk of slipping while performing high-speed manoeuvres. As excessive traction can lead to foot fixation and injury risk, there has been significant research surrounding the influence of stud configuration on the level of traction generated. This previous research, however, has predominately focused on the stud patterns, foot morphology and lower limb loading patterns of male players. As the popularity of women's soccer increases, the aim of this investigation was to examine the differences in translational traction of female-specific soccer boots and male soccer boots currently available. A custom-built apparatus was used to determine the translational traction on both natural and artificial grass for four different movement directions. It was hypothesised that the female-specific boot in each pair would produce lower levels of translational traction as they are designed to be safer for female players who are more at risk of lower limb fixation injuries compared to males. An independent samples T-test showed that while there were some loading conditions where female boots produced lower translational traction compared to male boots, across all loading scenarios there was no significant difference between male and female boots ( = 0.818), thus the null hypothesis was rejected.
足球鞋的鞋钉外底为球员提供了额外的抓地力，以降低他们在进行高速动作时滑倒的风险。由于过度的抓地力会导致足部固定并增加受伤风险，因此围绕鞋钉配置对产生的抓地力水平的影响展开了大量研究。然而，此前的这项研究主要集中在男性球员的鞋钉图案、足部形态和下肢负荷模式上。随着女子足球运动的普及，本研究的目的是检验目前市售的女子专用足球鞋和男子足球鞋在平移抓地力方面的差异。使用定制设备测定了在天然草皮和人造草皮上四个不同运动方向的平移抓地力。研究假设，每双女子专用足球鞋的平移抓地力水平会较低，因为其设计目的是为了对下肢固定伤风险更高的女性球员更安全。独立样本t检验显示，虽然在某些负荷条件下，女鞋产生的平移抓地力比男鞋低，但在所有负荷情况下，男鞋和女鞋之间没有显著差异（p = 0.818），因此原假设被拒绝。
