THE STANDARDS OF FIBA BASKETBALL FLOORING

Professional sports flooring is a wood flooring dedicated to sporting events and sports training, with exceptionally stringent requirements and standards. With a complete set of wood flooring systems, the system refers to the sum of the panel, keel, elastic pad and mounting structure design. Professional sports flooring can not be divided by panel material.

We can see from the national standard, basketball sports on the requirements of the wood floor is the highest, other sports wood flooring requirements are mainly concentrated in the strong degree and the absorption of the impact of movement above. The degree of solidification represents the useful life of the wood floor, and the absorption of the movement shock is the risk factor of the athlete's injury.

 

* SHOCK ABSORPTION
The shock absorption is the inelastic absorption of the impact. Due to the internal viscosity of the material, the force of the object. It measures the impact of the floor absorption, rather than the energy back to the athletes. The greater the impact energy the absorption of the floor, the smaller the impact the athlete must absorb, thus providing greater comfort for the foot. So this parameter ensures the maximum comfort of the foot. Excessive shock absorption levels may make sport more difficult.
* COLOR
The color of the venue must be dim, the light reflection coefficient between 0.25 to 0.50, you can clearly see the signs on the pitch.
* SOUND INSULATION

Due to running, jumping and lead to excessive vibration or bouncing ball, it must ensure the use of sound insulation materials.

 

 

* DEFORMATION
Deformation bending capacity depends on elasticity, viscosity and elastic layer thickness. The floor is under dynamic load. Too much rest when the foot of the security, increased the possibility of sprains.
* ELASTICITY
The ball is a very important factor in the ball movement. The bounce must be on a uniform and regular surface. More importantly, the floor can not absorb the rebound. Otherwise it is impossible to conduct a regular game.
* FRICTION NON-SLIP

Surface friction is extremely important. According to different movements, the standard of measurement is also different. Basketball needs to maximize the friction between the feet and the floor, and tennis needs proper control of slip resistance. In any case, the feet must be able to rotate easily.

 

 

* HEAT INSULATION

Insulation is important, the venue is mainly on the floor to practice, because it increases comfort and helps to reduce energy.
* BASIC SECURITY
In addition to the above requirements, the floor must also comply with safety standards, must be fire (EN 13501), do not release toxic substances. Can not be easily deformed permanent deformation of the risk; have a certain load, including sports equipment, other equipment, telescopic stands, washing machines and scaffolding.
