DTI, structural network connectivity, and neurocognitive changes associated with subconcussive impacts in youth football players
… known, however, about the effects of cumulative repetitive head impacts, or so-called subconcussive head impact exposure. Neuroimaging analyses of youth athletes may allow characterization of potential dose-response changes in white matter due to sports-related cumulative subconcussive head …

Head Impact Exposure in Youth Football: Evaluation of Practice Drills and Age and Weight Based Levels of Play
… understand concussions as well as quantifying head impact exposure sustained by a football athlete, but efforts have been mainly focused on the high school and collegiate population. More research is needed to study head impact exposure in the youth population as it makes up the largest …

Development, Validation, & Analysis of Tools to Understand the Biomechanical Basis of Exposure to Repetitive Subconcussive Impacts
… high risk of concussion, but are also exposed to repetitive subconcussive impacts during normal participation in the sport. There has been growing interest in the link between repetitive head impacts and changes in the brain related to neurodegenerative diseases which has motivated additional …

Evaluation of Head Impact Exposure and Concussion Injury Mechanisms in Youth Football
… rate and potential long-term effects from repetitive subconcussive (i.e. impacts that occur during regular participation in football and do not result in the signs or symptoms of a concussion) and concussive impacts. Studies have provided evidence suggesting that later-life …

The effect of repetitive head impact exposure on white matter lesion volume
… sports (CCS) expose athletes to countless repetitive head impacts (RHI) across a single season, potentially leading to increased risk of long-term difficulties in cognition and the development of neurodegenerative disease. There is mixed literature on whether RHI from CCS result in changes …

Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Collision and Contact Female Athletes Over the Course of a Season
… collision sport athletes are exposed to numerous impacts to the body and head, however, the short-term effects of such cumulative hits on neurological functioning remain elusive. This study examined resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of brain networks in a sample of female varsity …

Applications of blood biomarkers of traumatic brain injury across the severity spectrum---a focus on pathophysiological mechanisms
… as in ostensibly healthy athletes exposed to repetitive head impacts. CONCLUSION. Blood biomarkers are a useful tool to evaluate secondary injury processes across the spectrum of TBI. The results from these works necessitate future investigations into: (1) the potential therapeutic benefit of …

Characterizing the effects of repetitive head trauma in female soccer athletes for prevention of mild traumatic brain injury
… those of men’s football at the collegiate level. Head impact monitoring technology has revealed that “concussive hits” occurring directly before symptomatic injury are not predictive of mTBI, suggesting that the cumulative effect of repetitive head impacts experienced by collision sport athletes …

Cognitive and emotional effects of one season of head impact exposure in high school contact sport athletes
… In the last decade, studies of subconcussive repetitive head impacts (RHI) in contact sports have found associations with functional and structural brain changes, even in the absence of diagnosed concussion. Risk and thresholds for brain dysfunction in the setting of sports-related RHI remain …

Cognitive, Psychiatric, And Neuropathological Manifestations Of Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… in contact sports that involve repeated head impacts (e.g., football, ice hockey, boxing), often from a very young age, and it is feared that subsequent impacts can synergize with previous ones so that their effects on the brain become magnified. Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury …

SUBCONCUSSIVE HEAD IMPACT EFFECT ON PLASMA EXPRESSION OF S100-BETA AND PINCH PROTEINS IN COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
… players, the acute and longer-term effects of repetitive subconcussive impacts on plasma S100β and PINCH levels and concussion-related symptom score were examined. The first aim was to investigate the acute repetitive subconcussive impact effect by comparing the biomarker levels at pre and post …

Head acceleration across youth, high school, and collegiate soccer players
… Soccer is unique in that you can use your head to advance the ball and purposeful heading is an integral part of the game. However, some have suggested that repeated heading of the soccer ball is associated with neurological deficits, though others have claimed that deficits are related to …

An investigation into mild traumatic brain injury identification, management, and mitigation
… forces such as a physical impact to the head or body, which results in a transient neurological disturbance without obvious structural brain damage. Immediate access to tools that can identify, diagnosis and manage concussion are wide ranging and can lack consistency in application. It is …
