Repetitive head impacts represent a risk factor for neurological impairment in team-sport
athletes. In the absence of symptoms, a physiological basis for acute injury has not been …

Sustaining sports-related head impacts has been reported to result in neurological changes
that potentially lead to later-life neurological disease. Advanced neuroimaging techniques …

Soccer, as a contact sport, exposes players to repetitive head impacts, especially through
heading the ball. The question of a long‐term brain cumulative effect remains. Our objective …

Mitigating the effects of repetitive exposure to head trauma has become a major concern for
the general population, given the growing body of evidence that even asymptomatic …

Repetitive head impact (RHI) exposure in collision sports may contribute to adverse
neurological outcomes in former players. In contrast to a concussion, or mild traumatic brain …

Sub-concussive head impacts are identified as a source of accrued damage. Football
athletes experience hundreds of such blows each season. Resting state functional magnetic …

A growing body of evidence suggests that chronic, sport-related head impact exposure can
impair brain functional integration and brain structure and function. Evidence of a robust …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: During a season of high school football, adolescents with
actively developing brains experience a considerable number of head impacts. Our aim was …

There are concerns about the effects of subconcussive head impacts in sport, but the effects
of subconcussion on brain connectivity are not well understood. We hypothesized that …

American football has become the focus of numerous studies highlighting a growing
concern that cumulative exposure to repetitive, sports-related head acceleration events …
