Abstract
- This study quantified the effect of compression load and duration on the deflection of five separate antifatigue flooring surfaces. Following standardized measurement of A Shore hardness, each sample underwent simulated single-leg stance indentation procedures that differed by compression load (45.3 kg, 90.7 kg, 136.1 kg) and duration (initial = 2.5 s, intermediate = 6.25 s, final = 12.5 s). Vertical deflection was compared across conditions, and the relationship between A Shore hardness and deflection was characterized. When compressed with 45.3 kg, deflection was not influenced by duration, but at 136 kg, deflection differed between durations by up to 15%. The relationship between A Shore hardness and deflection was characterized by a third-order polynomial function ( R2 > 0.991).
