Are There Memory Deficits Among High School Participants From Heading Soccer Balls?, John R. Dayton, Dr. Donovan E. Fleming
Journal of Undergraduate Research
A unique aspect of soccer is the use of the player’s head to direct the ball. Participants can “head” the ball to score a goal, pass to a teammate or gain control of possession. Studies performed on soccer players at the international2,5,7,10,12 and Olympic1 levels have shown memory2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12, attention3,6,11,12, concentration2,3,6,11,12, and judgment24 deficits. Is such damage due to practice schedule and necessitated drills, or is it the cumulative result of lifelong soccer participation? If due to lifelong participation, are high school participants at risk?
