In 408 instances, the authors identified
head acceleration measuring 40g or higher, indicating a high - magnitude impact.
Not exact matches
Data from the sensors were transmitted wirelessly to a computer on the sideline and processed to
measure both the linear and rotational
head acceleration resulting from each impact.
The object of the study was to identify specific football drills that result in high - magnitude
head impacts (
measured as
head accelerations greater than 40g).
Their goal was to determine under what circumstances high - magnitude
head impacts (linear or rotational
accelerations measuring more than 40g, which are more likely to cause concussions than lower - magnitude impacts) occur and how representative practice activities are of game activities with respect to these
head impacts.
All youths wore helmets equipped with accelerometer arrays that
measure head impacts in terms of
acceleration.
The sensors in the helmets
measured head acceleration for each impact players experienced.
