What happens to impact force duration when artificial turf hardness increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Impact force duration decreases as turf hardness increases because a harder surface undergoes less deformation upon impact, therefore the time over which the force is applied is shortened, rather than being extended as it would on a softer, more deformable surface.
