The new edition of BASF's innovation podcast "Chemistry of Innovations" talks about sport surfaces systems which can help make athletes faster.
Nowadays sports surfaces are like high-tech sports equipment that has a decisive impact on an athlete's performance. The surface can make all the difference being tenths of a second faster in sprints. Those sports surfaces are not prefabricated and then laid, in fact they are poured on as a liquid right in the stadium with the help of special plastics. So one can always check and optimize the track in a stadium during the actual laying process. With this fine tuning the athletes get back part of the energy they use every time they pound the surface.
