Gmax testing is designed to ensure artificial pitches are performing to a high standard with regards to impact attenuation/shock absorption.

Gmax shows the magnitude of force during an impact. A surface with high Gmax measurements reflects that the surface absorbs less force. Therefore a player colliding with the surface will sustain more force upon impact, increasing the likelihood of injury.

Many factors contribute to the Gmax results of a playing surface. These factors can quickly change making a surface unsafe for use. It is therefore recommended to carry out Gmax testing at least once per year.
