Study Summary
There is growing concern for the resulting neurological and physiological outcomes from repeated head impacts in sports that do not manifest into traditional concussion symptoms. Specifically, there is evidence of immediate physiological deficits following controlled soccer heading. This study will compare the physiological changes of adolescents completing a set of soccer headers to those randomized to a set of soccer kicks to evaluate the effect of repetitive head impacts.
Primary Outcome
A standard concussion physical exam includes smooth pursuits, horizontal and vertical saccades, horizontal and vertical gaze stability, visual motion sensitivity, convergence and divergence, and tandem walk.
Interventions
- OTHER Soccer Kicking
- OTHER Soccer Heading (Frontal)
- OTHER Soccer Heading (Oblique)
