description Futsal is gradually becoming the world’s favourite game. Due to increasing technological advancement and demand for performance, ball manufacturers have progressively been introducing new designs over the years. Enhanced performance is essential to make sports equipment as user-friendly as possible to avoid injuries. To date, there is much controversy on the effects of the severity of ball impact to the head. The attention is on the repetitive heading tactics used by younger generations. This study aims to investigate the Finite Element model of the sizefour futsal balland the impact between a ball and a rigid surface to predict the dynamic properties of the ball during impact. A drop test impact experiment involves the measurement of the Coefficientof Restitution (COR), deformation, and contact time. A video camera in high-speed mode and a motion sensor are employedto measure the characteristics during impact. The Solidworks software is employed for modelling and simulation of the drop test impact experiment. The COR values reduce as the drop height is increased,while deformation and contact time increase as the drop height increases.
