测量运动场表面的性能通常是从一系列现场和实验室测试中得出的，这些测试评估了模拟比赛条件下的比赛特性。然而，从球员的角度来看，他们自己在表面上的舒适度和信心以及其打球特点即使不是更重要，也是同等重要的。到目前为止，还没有进行过测量游戏偏好测试的比较研究。本研究的目的是开发一种合适的方法来激发球员对曲棍球场地的感知，并确定球员在评估场地曲棍球场地时考虑的关键主题。为了引出有意义的、公正的人类对比赛表面的感知，进行了个人主观分析，使用访谈和对记录的球员陈述的归纳分析。对22名优秀曲棍球运动员进行了定性分析，以了解他们在比赛结束后的感受。作为对他们的反应进行归纳分析的一部分，出现的重要表面特征被归类在一起，形成了五个一般主题或维度：球员表现、比赛环境、场地属性、球互动和球员互动。每个维度都是从子主题的层次结构形成的。在分析过程中，确定了维度之间的关系，并生成了结构化关系模型来突出每个关系。球员们的回答表明，他们感觉到了球场之间的差异，大多数球员认为一个球弹力较低、有利于提高比赛速度的“硬”球场是可取的。然而，需要进一步的研究来了解每个主题的相对重要性，并制定适当的测量策略来量化沥青材料的相关工程特性。
Measuring the performance of a sports surface is typically derived from a series of field and laboratory tests that assess the playing properties under simulated game conditions. However, from a player's perspective their own comfort and confidence in the surface and its playing characteristics are equally if not more important. To date no comparative study to measure playing preference tests has been made. The aim of this research was to develop a suitable method for eliciting player perceptions of field hockey pitches and determine the key themes that players consider when assessing field hockey pitches. To elicit meaningful unbiased human perceptions of a playing surface, an individual subjective analysis was carried out, using interviews and inductive analysis of the recorded player statements. A qualitative analysis of elite hockey players (n = 22) was performed to obtain their perceptions immediately after a competitive match. The significant surface characteristics that emerged as part of an inductive analysis of their responses were grouped together and formed five general themes or dimensions: player performance, playing environment, pitch properties, ball interaction and player interaction. Each dimension was formed from a hierarchy of sub-themes. During the analysis, relationships between the dimensions were identified and a structured relationship model was produced to highlight each relationship. Players' responses suggested that they perceived differences between pitches and that the majority of players considered a 'hard' pitch with a 'low' ball bounce facilitating a 'fast' game speed was desirable. However, further research is required to understand the relative importance of each theme and to develop appropriate measurement strategies to quantify the relevant engineering properties of pitch materials.
