The protector must not tear or perforate, but there is no force measurement. There is a blunt impact test with a flat horizontal bar with an extremely low 2 J kinetic energy. The peak force allowed is 2 kN. The impact energies were not justified in any way. 6 Wearability trials Ankrah and Mills (2002) carried out trials in which volunteers undertook dribbling, sprinting and shooting tasks while wearing 5, 10, 15 cm thick EVA foam ankle discs. They were timed and asked their opinion of comfort and restriction.
Aluminium replicas of three ankle bones were assembled using a polyurethane rubber adhesive. The soft tissues of the foot were simulated using Senflex 435 foam – this closed-cell semi-flexible polyolefin foam has an indentation resistance similar to that of athletes’ ankles. It allows load transfer away from the talar protuberance, which was covered with 2 mm of leather. The lower surface of the bone was supported rigidly. The prototype protectors combined a foam layer and a domed shell. The foams were either the currently used ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) of density 30 kg m-3, or a foamed 40%/60% blend of Dow ethylene–styrene interpolymer (ESI) and low-density polyethylene, of density 53 kg m-3, with improved impact absorption.
