Exploring Sex-Based Variations in Head Kinematics During Soccer Heading.

While studies indicate that females experience a higher concussion risk and more severe outcomes in soccer heading compared to males, comprehensive data on the underlying factors contributing to these sex-based differences are lacking. This study investigates the sex differences in the head-to-ball impact kinematics among college-aged soccer headers in a laboratory-controlled setting. Forty subjects (20 females, 20 males) performed ten headers, and impact kinematics, including peak angular acceleration and velocity (PAA, PAV) and peak linear acceleration (PLA), were measured using mouthguards.

Purposeful heading, in which players may use their heads to advance the ball in play, is a unique part of soccer. Clinical outcome measures used to aid in the diagnosis of a concussion have long been a cornerstone of the contemporary measurements associated with the short- and long-term effects of monitoring repetitive head impacts (RHI) and soccer heading exposure. The effects of RHI in the youth population are still unknown, therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine if heading exposure is predictive of changes in self-reported symptoms, neurocognitive functioning, gait, and balance in female youth soccer players over the course of one soccer season.

Heading is a key skill in soccer, and it is few investigated in females. Research on heading focused mostly on males and on young players. Data on females' soccer players are sparse and it is difficult to draw firm conclusions.

Article Synopsis
- * Nine studies were analyzed, focusing on various ball characteristics such as inflation pressure, mass, size, and stiffness, revealing that less inflation, lower mass, and decreased stiffness could reduce impact forces.
- * The review highlighted the need for more controlled studies to better understand the biomechanics of heading and suggested that standard testing methods could help in developing safer soccer balls to lower injury risks.
The Association Between Isometric Shoulder Strength and Sports Performances in University Soccer Players: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Soccer, a globally popular sport, demands a complex interplay between physical attributes, including speed, agility, power, and endurance. Although lower-body strength and power are often emphasized, the role of upper-body strength, particularly shoulder strength, remains less explored. Given the importance of upper-body movements in activities such as heading, shooting, and defending, understanding the relationship between shoulder strength and soccer performance is crucial.
