The integration of biomechanics and the application of green materials in the construction of sports facilities under environmental sustainability
Abstract
With the in-depth implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development, in order to implement the national basic energy-saving policies and various emission reduction mechanisms, as well as the demonstration and promotion role of universities in energy conservation and emission reduction, the state has put forward the idea of further supporting the construction of energy-saving campuses in higher education and universities. This paper delves into the application of green and environmentally friendly materials in the construction of sports facilities, not only from the perspective of ecological sustainable development but also in close connection with the field of biomechanics. Biomechanics plays a crucial role in the design and use of sports facilities. When applying green materials, it is essential to consider how these materials interact with the human body's mechanics during sports activities. For example, different sports demand specific mechanical properties from the facilities, such as the right amount of elasticity, friction, and shock absorption. Green materials, when selected and designed with biomechanics in mind, can enhance the performance and safety of athletes while maintaining environmental friendliness. To assess the feasibility of green materials in this context, this paper presents an evaluation method that integrates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and information entropy. This approach incorporates biomechanical factors into the index system. By doing so, the combined weight value of each component in the system can more accurately reflect the real-world situation. Compared to traditional evaluation methods, this integrated approach effectively mitigates the subjectivity in determining weight coefficients. It also ensures that the significance of each evaluation index, especially those related to biomechanical performance, is fully considered. The experimental results in this paper show that the use of AHP to evaluate the advantages of green environmental protection materials, the average weight reaches 0.8275. This finding strongly suggests that the application of green materials in sports facilities construction is highly viable. These materials not only contribute to environmental protection but also offer biomechanical advantages, ensuring the long - term sustainability and functionality of the facilities for athletes.
