Risk of knee and ankle sprains under various weather conditions in American football
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that cold weather can cause lower knee and ankle injury risk in outdoor conditions perhaps due to reduced shoe-surface traction. Ankle and knee sprains risks are lower in natural grass stadium as compared with indoor stadiums with AstroTurf. Furthermore, knee and ankle sprains are less likely in cooler temperatures for both outdoor AstroTurf and natural grass stadiums.
