- abstract
- American football is a widely popular sport in which athletes regularly experience head impacts, as player-to-player and player-to-ground contact is frequent. Evidence has indicated that repetitive, subconcussive head impact exposure (HIE) might alter brain physiology. Studies have quantified HIE in youth football in an attempt to understand the biomechanics behind the functional brain changes. To effectively inform safety efforts in youth football, it is vital to identify potential determinants and characteristics of exposure to head acceleration events.
