Introduction: Today, flooring plays a key role for the correct execution of high standard training and sports competitions in sports spaces. Unfortunately, the majority of the sports spaces have been equipped with plastic flooring or ordinary parquets, while technical and engineering computations have not been taken into consideration in the manufacture of these flooring. On the other hand, while the mechanical and engineering properties of the materials deteriorate over time, they are still used without any test and calibration being performed on them.
Methodology: This fact can result in serious sports injuries and reduction of the performance quality of the athletes. In most previous studies which have not examined separately indoor and outdoor hall sports flooring. Only limited research has taken to study indoor hall sports flooring. There are case-study to study the mechanical properties and how to boost rubber flooring has been used. SBR and EPDM granules, because of equipping sports and recreational spaces (parks) are more common, so this research focused on the two types of material. After making flooring, testing, friction, tension, shock absorption and vertical deformation were performed on them. These examinations are considered the most important factors of safety and longevity of the flooring.
Results: The results obtained with the standard EN 14877; 2013 IAAF: 2011 were discussed and determined that both of these have received the required standards. Due to the high price of the EPDM rubber granules, it is not economical to use for the whole surface.
Discussion: Therefore, it is suggested that SBR rubber uses as the infrastructure and EPDM for outer surface to reduce the cost for the execution of flooring and also enjoy the results in the standard range.
