XL TurfPro Rated as Best Artificial Turf by Leading Science Magazine

ZUG, SWITZERLAND -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/29/06 -- XL Generation International Inc.(OTCBB: XLGI), a leading provider of artificial turf products and other leisure and sports surfaces reports that: Science & Vie, Europe's number one scientific magazine published an in-depth report on artificial turf and its progress in the world of soccer. The article states that the 2010 world cup might very well be played on artificial turf which would have much of the same qualities as natural grass, but with a better life and uniformity, and is fast winning support with the highest authorities of the sports world.

Science & Vie magazine has been published since 1913, and has a monthly audience of some four million readers. It publishes articles on scientific and technical advances.

Based on its own evaluation and expert testimonials Science & Vie states that XL Generation is the one that has had the most success in developing a synthetic surface with the qualities necessary to replace natural grass, but with much better longevity and at the same time helping to prevent injuries to players.

Frederic Vachon a former biomechanical researcher at the University of Montreal and now Head of Product Development at XL Generation stated:

"The XL Turf's design is unique in that the fibre density is much higher than regular infill products (over 30 000 tuft per square meter compared with an average of 8000) and has a combination of straight and curled fibre contrary to most other products. This combination provides a perfect ball-surface interaction to slow down the ball usually judged too fast by players on traditional artificial turf. It also provides the necessary grip for the player without interfering with his safety."

Vachon also explains that one of the secrets of the XL product is the formulation and design of the shock-absorbing under pad according to biomechanical and physiological aspects. The XL TURF PRO product is able to eliminate the majority of the high frequency response caused by rapid jumps or falls responsible for injuries. In the design, Frederic Vachon took care not to interfere with performance and took into consideration the physiological aspect of the players (heart rate and oxygen consumption (VO2). As a result, the XL TURF products show a lower energy expenditure compared to natural grass.

Science & Vie goes on to say that the obvious advantages make a compelling offering for most football pitches. As an example, it cites that Amsterdam's Ajax with its new covered field must change its natural playing surface seven times a year. This is why Ajax is experimenting with a synthetic surface for its practice field. The magazine concludes that for evident reasons the future is to synthetic.
