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 کاملMeasuring Head Impact Exposure and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Humans
Helmeted sports such as football offer a unique opportunity to study head injury biomechanics in live human subjects. Impact reconstruction using game videos and real-time measurements of head kinematics in football provide a method of quantifying the head impact exposure athletes experience. A total of 58 impacts from NFL games have been reconstructed using Hybrid III crash test dummies, inclu...
متن کاملChapter 2 : Investigation of Effective Mass Differences for Helmet to Helmet Impacts in Football : Role of the Neck and Implications on Injury
The research presented herein is an analysis of acceleration measurements of the head during helmet-helmet impacts, where a player’s helmet impacts another player’s helmet, and with a youth population in football. This research is aimed at advancing current understanding of impact biomechanics for two specialized groups. The first study is an observational analysis focusing on helmet-helmet imp...
متن کاملHead impacts during high school football: a biomechanical assessment.
CONTEXT Little is known about the impact biomechanics sustained by players during interscholastic football. OBJECTIVE To characterize the location and magnitude of impacts sustained by players during an interscholastic football season. DESIGN Observational design. SETTING On the field. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS High school varsity football team (n = 35; age = 16.85 +/- 0.75 years, ...
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...
