Ngenkathi iqembu lebhola labesifazane laseMelika lingena enkundleni ngoMsombuluko ukuyodlala umdlalo wabo wokuqala weNdebe Yomhlaba Yabesifazane ka-2015 bedlala ne-Australia, babekhona ukuze banqobe. Futhi hhayi lowo mdlalo kuphela-Iqembu Lesizwe Labesifazane Lase-U.S. (USWNT) liyintandokazi yesicoco esihlonishwa kakhulu ebholeni likanobhutshuzwayo. Kodwa isenzo sokungena enkundleni besingelula njengoba sizwakala, ngenxa yesinqumo esingachazeki seFIFA sokuhlela imidlalo endaweni yokwenziwa utshani—isenzo esingase sibulale amaphupho eqembu (kanye nemilenze yalo!). Enye inkinga? I-FIFA inakho neze ube neNdebe yoMhlaba yabesilisa kwi-turf-futhi akanazo izinhlelo zokwenza lokhu ukwenza elinye icala elibuhlungu lokubandlululwa kwabesifazane kwezemidlalo. (AmaLadies asakhahlela kodwa! Nanka ama-20 ama-Iconic Sports Moments Afaka Abasubathi Besifazane.)

Ungalenzi iphutha ngakho: Abasubathi bayakuzonda ukudlala ibhola ku-turf. (Umgadli wase-U.S. u-Abby Wambach ufingqe umuzwa weqembu engxoxweni ne-NBC, ebiza ukusetha ngokuthi "iphupho elibi.") Inkinga? Utshani bokufakelwa abufani neze nento yangempela - futhi sekuyisikhathi eside kucatshangwa ukuthi bunomthelela omubi endleleni imidlalo edlalwa ngayo.

"Indawo engokwemvelo [utshani] inobungani emizimbeni nasezinsizakalweni zokululama nokuvuselelwa. ITurf inzima futhi inzima kakhulu emzimbeni," kusho uDiane Drake, owayengumqeqeshi webhola labesifazane oyinhloko eGeorge Mason University naseGeorgetown futhi ongumsunguli weDrake Soccer Consulting . "Emidlalweni yeNdebe yoMhlaba, isikhathi esiphakathi kwemidlalo sincane kakhulu, ngakho-ke ukululama nokuzalwa kabusha kubalulekile."

I-Turf nayo idinga ukuqina nokugijima okwengeziwe. Indawo yokufakelwa "iyakhathala kakhulu," engaba nemiphumela engaphezu komdlalo owodwa, kusho uWendy LeBolt, Ph.D., isazi somzimba esikhethekile ebholeni labesifazane kanye nombhali we Fit 2 Qeda. "Ukuqina nokuqina kwesimo sezulu yizona zinzuzo zokuqala ze-turf, yingakho kunezinsimu eziningi ezifakiwe. Kodwa kunokunikezwa okuningi ngaphezulu, okunganciphisa amandla."

Ubuso buguqula nokuthi umdlalo udlalwa kanjani. "Kunamachibi yonke indawo namanzi ashaya ebusweni babadlali. Ubabona befafaza yonke indawo," kusho uDrake. "Izinkinga ngamaphasi anesisindo esinzima [ukukhahlela ibhola uye lapho ufuna umdlali owamukelayo abe khona, hhayi lapho ekhona njengamanje] ngoba amaqembu ezobuchwepheshe amancane aseyabonakala," uyanezela.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-rubber-plastic turf ayivumeli abadlali ukuthi bajike, bagijime futhi baqhube ngendlela abajwayele ngayo, okungaholela ekulimaleni. "Ngiye ngabadlali abaningi besifazane abazilimaza e-turf, cishe njalo bengaphikiswa ngaphandle kokuxhumana," kusho uDrake. Abesifazane banokuthile okukhethekile okukhathazayo nge-physiologic futhi-i-engeli ebanzi phakathi kwezinqulu zethu namadolo, ama-pelvis abanzi, nezinsikazi ezimise ngendlela ehlukile-okuye kwaxhunyaniswa nengcuphe enkulu yokulimala kwamadolo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukudlala i-turf kungaba yingozi nakakhulu kwabesifazane kunamadoda. (I-FYI: Lezi yiZivivinyo ezi-5 Eziningi Zokubangela Ukulimala.)

"Kube nezifundo ze-biomechanical ezibonisa amandla akhuphukayo aphikisanayo ane-turf yokwenziwa uma kuqhathaniswa notshani bemvelo," kuchaza uBrian Schulz, MD, udokotela wamathambo e-Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic e-Los Angeles, CA. Unezela ukuthi ukungqubuzana okukhulayo kwandisa ingozi yokulimala ngoba unyawo lwakho luvame ukuhlala lutshalwe ngesikhathi sokushintsha kwesiqondiso, okwenza izicubu ezithambile zomlenze wakho zithathe umthelela ogcwele wamandla.

Kodwa ukulimala okudume kakhulu kuze kube manje? "Ukusha kotshani" ababi kubadlali abashelelayo noma abawa phansi, njengoba kuboniswa yilesi sithombe esibhalwe kuTwitter ngumgadli wase-U.S. u-Sydney Leroux:

Le nkinga ikuyo yonke indawo ize yaphefumulela ne-akhawunti yayo ye-Twitter kanye ne-hashtag, okwenza #turfburn ifane ne- # FIFAWWC2015.

Futhi akusona isikhumba kuphela esisha! Izindawo zokwenziwa zishisa ngokushesha okukhulu (futhi zishise kakhulu) kunezindawo zokudlala ezivamile. Kuleli sonto elidlule, inkundla yokudlala ibe yizinga lokushisa elingu-120 degrees Fahrenheit elihlanyayo elingagcini nje ngokukwenza kube nzima ukudlala kahle kakhulu, kodwa futhi elinyusa ingcuphe yokushisa nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni. Impela, imithethonqubo eshicilelwe yiFIFA ithi kufanele kwenziwe izinguquko uma izinga lokushisa lingaphezulu kwama-degree Fahrenheit angama-90.

Pho kungani kubeke abasubathi abasezingeni eliphezulu ezimweni ezimbi kangaka? Phela iFIFA ayikaze ifune ukuthi umdlalo webhola lezinyawo wabesilisa okhokhelwayo udlalwe emagcekeni, ingasaphathwa eyeNdebe yoMhlaba. UWambach ubize inkinga ye-turf ngokuthi "udaba lobulili ngokuqhubekayo." UDrake uyavuma, ethi, "Akungatshazwa ukuthi u-Sepp Blatter [umongameli we-FIFA oyimpikiswano osanda kwesula esikhundleni ngemuva kwezinsolo zokugwazisa, ukweba kanye nokushushumbisa imali] ubenobuqhophololo phambilini." (Wake waphakamisa ukuthi abesifazane bangaba ngabadlali bebhola kangcono uma "begqoke izingubo zabesifazane eziningi, ngokwesibonelo, izikhindi eziqinile.")

Amaqembu amaningi abesifazane aze amangalela iFIFA ngale ndawo yokufakelwa ngo-2014 - kodwa leli cala lahoxiswa ngemuva kokuthi iFIFA yenqabile ukuphuma esikhundleni sabo. Yini ngempela kuyinto leso sikhundla? Ngokwesitatimende esithunyelwe kwabezindaba esethulwe ngunobhala-jikelele we-FIFA uJerome Valcke, le ndawo yenzelwe ukuphepha futhi "iyindawo engcono kakhulu yokwenza wonke umuntu ajabulele ukubukwa kwebhola."

Ngaphandle kokuphepha kanye nombukwane, uLeBolt uthi okukhathazayo ngempela kufanele kube ukuhlonipha abasubathi. "Umdlalo omsulwa udlalwa otshanini obenziwe kahle, ngakho-ke ngokubona kwami, uma sizokwazi ukuthi ngubani ohamba phambili emhlabeni, kufanele sibavivinye endaweni edlala kahle kakhulu," esho. "Ukushintsha izinto kungazelelwe kungafana nokucela abadlali be-pro ukuthi bajikijele kude noma abadlali be-basketball be-pro ukuthi badubule kubhasikidi onobude obuhlukile."

Noma kunjalo, uDrake ubona izehlakalo zakamuva (icala, ukwesula kukaBlatter, ukwanda kokungezwani ezinkundleni zokuxhumana) njengophawu lokuthi izinto ziyashintsha kwabesifazane ebholeni. "Ngicabanga ukuthi sizohamba ngendlela ehlukile ngekusasa futhi ngethemba ukuthi lokhu ngeke kuphinde kwenzeke," esho.

Sithemba kanjalo, njengoba lokhu kungabi nabulungisa kwenze igazi lethu labila—futhi asimile ngisho nasenkundleni ye-120-degree.
