Head impact exposure in collegiate football players.
In American football, impacts to the helmet and the resulting head accelerations are the primary cause of concussion injury and potentially chronic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to quantify exposures to impacts to the head (frequency, location and magnitude) for individual collegiate football players and to investigate differences in head impact exposure by player position. A tota...
متن کاملIdentification of cardiometabolic risk among collegiate football players.
CONTEXT Excessive fat mass clearly has adverse effects on metabolic processes that can ultimately lead to the development of chronic disease. Early identification of high-risk status may facilitate referral for definitive diagnostic tests and implementation of interventions to reduce cardiometabolic risk. OBJECTIVE To document the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among collegiate football pla...
متن کاملMagnitude of head impact exposures in individual collegiate football players.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the severity of head impacts sustained by individual collegiate football players and to investigate differences between impacts sustained during practice and game sessions, as well as by player position and impact location. Head impacts (N = 184,358) were analyzed for 254 collegiate players at three collegiate institutions. In practice, the 50th and 95t...
متن کاملIsolated Hyoid Bone Fractures in Collegiate Football Players
Hyoid fractures in athletes are rare injuries that can be difficult to diagnose. Typically resulting from a direct blow to the anterior neck, hyoid fractures can lead to subcutaneous edema and subsequent airway compromise. The treatment of this fracture depends largely on the severity of the presenting symptoms. Generally, these fractures do not require surgical intervention but warrant close o...
متن کاملAssessment of Strain Patterns in the Brain from Real-World Acceleration Data from Collegiate Football Players
The purpose of this study was to determine how linear and rotational accelerations affected the location of high strain areas in the brain. Acceleration pulses obtained from instrumented football helmets were used as the input to the SIMon finite element model (FEM) of the brain. The acceleration pulses used for this study were isolated from a dataset that included 1,712 impacts recorded during...
