网球被推广为所有年龄和能力的个人的身体活动的一个很好的来源，由于健身和心理社会的好处与发挥。对于精英球员来说，达到世界级的地位是最终的表现目标。追求卓越和大众参与网球运动，从提高成绩和预防受伤的角度来看，导致了对设备的巨大投资。快速、多方向的运动通常会增加运动员所经历的负荷和负荷速率。这对肌肉骨骼系统的后果是增加了急性或慢性机制所描述的持续损伤的可能性（Luethi等人，1986）。鞋类被认为是一个明智的战略，在预防伤害，特别是对下肢，由于其潜在的能力，以减弱冲击力，通过缓冲。进一步混淆受伤可能性的是比赛场地的硬度，这与受伤风险的增加有关（Strauss 2003）。这些考虑特别适用于网球，因为比赛是在不同硬度的球场表面上进行的，从丙烯酸“硬”到草地“软”球场。目前，对运动员、地面和鞋类在预防伤害中的作用之间的相互作用的理解有限。本研究的目的有两个方面：（1）测量各种网球鞋的冲击特性，独立于人类的相互作用;（2）评估鞋表面界面的冲击特性。
Tennis is promoted as an excellent source of physical activity for individuals of all ages and abilities due to the fitness and psychosocial benefits associated with play. For elite players achieving world class status is the ultimate performance goal. The pursuit of excellence and mass participation in tennis has lead to great investment in equipment from both a performance enhancement and an injury prevention perspective. Rapid, multi-directional movement will typically increase both the load and the rate of loading experienced by an athlete. The consequence of this on the musculoskeletal system is to increase the likelihood of sustaining an injury depicted by an acute or chronic mechanism (Luethi et al. 1986). Footwear is considered a sensible strategy in injury prevention specifically for the lower limbs due to its potential ability to attenuate impact forces via cushioning. Confounding the potential of injury further is the hardness of the playing surfaces which is associated with an increase in injury risk (Strauss 2003). These considerations are particularly applicable for tennis as the game is played on difference court surfaces with varying degrees of hardness, ranging from the acrylic ‘hard’ to the grass ‘soft’ courts. Currently there is limited understanding of the interaction between the player, the surface and the role footwear has in injury prevention. The aims of this study are two-fold: (1) to measure the impact properties of a variety of tennis footwear independently of human interaction; and (2) to evaluate the impact characteristics of the shoe-surface interface.
