As a former college lacrosse and high school field hockey player, and a member of ASTM International's subcommittee on standards for headgear and helmets, which is working with US Lacrosse on developing a new standard for headgear in women's lacrosse, I have reservations about whether requiring female lacrosse players to wear helmets will make the sports safer, or, as a result of the phenomenon called risk compensation (also called the «gladiator effect»), will actually result in more, rather than fewer, head injuries.

As Larry Leverenz, Ph.D, ATC, a co-author of the groundbreaking 2010 study (4) that was the first to identify such athletes noted, because such athletes have not suffered damage to areas of the brain associated with language and auditory processing, they are unlikely to exhibit clinical signs of head injury (such as headache or dizziness), or show impairment on sideline assessment for concussion, all of which test for verbal, not visual memory.

The challenge is to determine whether a critical number of head hits exists above which this type of brain injury appears, and then to get players and coaches to agree to limit play when an athlete approached that number.

Finding a way to reconcile two competing demands - minimizing contact in practice in order to reduce the number of concussions sustained and the number of hits players sustain over the course of a week and a season that emerging science, now more than ever, suggests may have a deleterious cumulative effect [26] on a player's cognitive function over the long term, while at the same time maximizing the amount of time in practice learning how to tackle and block without head - to - head contact - time that is needed to maximize the protective effect of proper tackling on the number of head - to - head hits players sustain in game action, which can not only result in concussion, but catastrophic neck and spine injuries - is challenging, but clearly not impossible.
