Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between repetitive head impacts (RHI) and clinical concussion assessments across a season among collegiate football (FB) and women's soccer (WSOC) players. Methods: Fifteen male FB and 23 WSOC players participated in this study. Participants were included if they were medically...
Article
While many research efforts have focused on head impact exposure in professional soccer, there have been few studies characterizing exposure at the youth level. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new instrumentation approach and collect some of the first head impact exposure data for youth female soccer players. Athletes were instrumented with...

Context: Heading, an integral component of soccer, exposes athletes to a large number of head impacts over a career. The literature has begun to indicate that cumulative exposure may lead to long-term functional and psychological deficits. Quantifying an athlete's exposure over a season is a first step in understanding cumulative exposure. Object...

The purpose of this study was to measure peak linear and rotational head acceleration in women's collegiate soccer and explore the variations in acceleration across different strategic scenarios. Game videos from 14 games were used to identify the strategic scenario in which the athlete headed the ball. Strategic scenarios included: bounce, seconda...

... In particular, previous research has shown header biomechanics to vary according to different in-game conditions, such as the scenario preceding the header, the ball's impact location on the head, and a player's postural state (i.e., standing or jumping). With respect to in-game scenarios, a common finding was that headers following goal-kicks and/or free kicks resulted in significantly greater linear and rotational head accelerations than headers that were performed from throw-ins or previous headers (7,12,27). A greater distance travelled by the ball prior to the header event is associated with higher ball velocities, which consequently cause the observed increases in impact kinematics. ...
... This might happen in situations with head-to-head contact in football, during headers in soccer, or while receiving a punch in boxing [8,33]. In fact, male high school football athletes are exposed to an average magnitude of 26.3 ± 2.8 g LA during head impacts [34] and the same-aged female soccer players to 16.1 ± 3.6 g LA [35]. Another investigation of women soccer players reported a median LA of 12.51 (range 10.0-66.06 ...
... In terms of physical performance, Chena Sinovas et al. [7] reported significantly improved results (p < 0.05) in squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ), presenting a greater vertical jump height in defenders compared to center midfielders and forwards in amateur male soccer players. In contrast, Lamond et al. [9] reported no significant differences in linear acceleration in female college league soccer players according to playing position. ...
... 7100.0 rad/s 2 , respectively (7,12,15), these studies reported a considerable variability in impact magnitudes of purposeful headers. In particular, previous research has shown header biomechanics to vary according to different in-game conditions, such as the scenario preceding the header, the ball's impact location on the head, and a player's postural state (i.e., standing or jumping). ...
