The Science of Shock Attenuation
Athlete safety is the result of precision. GMAX testing measures the impact hardness of your athletic surfaces, quantifying how well the field absorbs shock upon impact. This data is critical for identifying safety performance gaps, ensuring ASTM compliance, and providing the documentation necessary to support warranties and liability management.

GMAX Testing: The Science of Injury Prevention
Athlete safety shouldn't be a guessing game. GMAX testing measures the impact-absorption capacity of your athletic fields and tracks, providing critical data to ensure your surfaces meet ASTM F1936 standards. By detecting areas of high compaction or inadequate shock attenuation, we help facilities significantly reduce the risk of concussions and chronic joint injuries before they happen.

Why Prioritize GMAX Testing?
01
Track Surface
Wear
Monitor the aging process of your synthetic turf or running track with consistent data. Identify high-use zones prone to thinning and compaction, allowing for targeted maintenance before minor wear becomes a failure point.
02
Improve Athlete Safety
Ensure your surfaces maintain optimal shock attenuation levels. GMAX testing detects 'hard spots' that increase concussion risks, enabling you to de-compact infill and restore the cushioning necessary for athlete safety.
03
Liability & Warranty Support
Protect the school district or municipality with documented ASTM F1936 compliance. Regular records support warranty claims against manufacturer defects and provide vital documentation for liability defense.
Safety First Performance
Avoid Costly Field Replacements
Investing in regular GMAX testing and professional maintenance is the most effective way to extend the lifespan of your athletic surfaces. By monitoring shock attenuation and surface wear now, you prevent safety hazards and avoid the massive capital expense of premature field replacement.
