Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential

In the past, energy storage and return of sport surfaces have typically been determined in experimental studies. Drop tests have been used for assessing the potential of a surface to return energy (Bowers et al. 1974; Nigg et al. 1978; Frederick et al. 1980). The typical results from such drop tests provided energy return values for athletic
