In this report, the author reviews the huge range of sports-related products from playing surfaces to footwear and clothing. He notes how changing performance, usually for the better, and the need to supplement the rules of the game to ensure consistency when a variety of materials and designs may be in use has led to an increase in testing and specification. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.
