Context: Recent evidence suggests an accumulation of head impact exposures may influence neurocognitive functioning over time. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sub concussive impacts and reaction time in collegiate football players across a football season. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: Data was collected at a NCAA Division III college throughout the 2022 competitive football season. Participants: 25 players volunteered for the study. Main Outcome Measures: HIE (99%,95%,

Sweat Rate And Sweat Electrolyte Concentrations In Football Players During Exercise In Cool Versus Warm Environmental Conditions: A Cross Over Study, Nicholas Mobile
West Chester University Master’s Theses
Objectives: To determine if sweat rate and sweat electrolyte concentrations differ when football players exercise in warm versus cool environmental conditions. Participants: Eleven unacclimatized football players exercised for 60 min in warm (24°C and 75%RH) and cool (10°C and 25%RH) randomly assigned trials. Methods: Sweat patches made from sterile gauze were placed on forearm, low back and thigh sites after skin was thoroughly washed and dried. Sweat rate was calculated as change in pre-exercise to post-exercise nude body weight adjusted for fluid consumed and urine produced during exercise. Sweat patches were removed after exercise and centrifuged to separate sweat from …
