All of us involved
in youth sports - from parents, to coaches, from athletic trainers to school athletic directors to the athletes themselves - have a responsibility to do what we can to make contact and collision sports safer, whether it by reducing the number of hits to the head a
player receives over the course of a season (such as N.F.L. and the Ivy League are doing
in limiting full - contact practices, and the Sports Legacy Institute recently proposed be considered at the
youth and high school level
in its Hit Count program), teaching
football players how to tackle without using their head (as former pro
football player Bobby Hosea has long advocated), changing the rules (as the governing body for high school hockey
in Minnesota did
in the aftermath of the Jack Jablonski injury or USA Hockey did
in banning body checks at the Pee Wee level), or giving serious consideration to whether athletes below a certain age should be playing tackle
football at all (as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend).
To quantify
youth football players» exposure to head impacts
in practices and games over the course of a single season, the researchers outfitted helmets of 50
players on three teams
in two different leagues with the HIT (Head Impact Telemetry) system, an array of helmet - mounted accelerometers (i.e. hit sensors) installed on an elastic base inside the helmet.
Beginning
in the fall of 2012, the Virginia Tech and Wake Forest researchers began collecting more data on impacts among the
youth football population by putting hit sensors
in the helmets of over 300
youth football players from ages 6 to 18
in a program they are dubbing KIDS (Kinematics of Impact Data Set).
According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury, 140
football players - from
youth to high school, college to pro, died from heat stroke between 1960 and 2014, with an average of 2.6 heat stroke deaths
in football for the most recent five year period from 2010 to 2014 (two
in 2014).
Combined with data showing that a substantially higher percentage of hits to the helmets of
youth players are to the side of the helmet - which the researchers attributed to a differences
in the styles of play between the different age groups, as well as the fact that
youth players have a tendancy to fall to the side when tackled - these factors may result
in a
youth player being more susceptible to impacting his head on the ground while being tackled than a high school or college
player, knowledge, they said, that could aid
in the design of better
youth - specific
football helmets.
Based on data showing that, while
youth football players sustained concussions at about the same rate
in practice and overall as high school and college athletes, they were injured at a rate 3 to 4 times higher than older
players during games, the UPMC researchers predicted that Pop Warner's new rules «may not only have little effect on reducing on reducing concussions but may also actually increase the incidence of concussions
in games via reduced time learning proper tackling
in practice.»
