Abstract
The invention relates to an artificial turf with a backing and a large number of artificial grass blades which are fixed thereto, protrude substantially transversely thereof and are manufactured from plastic, and a fibrous, inherently damping material arranged between the artificial grass blades and connected to the backing or the blades. The fibrous, inherently damping material can herein be arranged in the form of a large number of blades which are connected to the backing and which likewise extend transversely of the backing, but less far than the artificial grass blades. The fibrous, inherently damping material can also take the form of a knit through which the artificial grass blades protrude and which can be formed integrally with the backing.
