TOM (Caller, San Carlos): Hi. I think that’s – Personally, I think that’s where we need to focus. The most protective 5-star ASTM-certified, in soccer, our ExoShield Head Guard is the only product shown to statistically reduce the risk of head injuries in a recent multi-year independent study. For example, a player may suffer a concussion after a hit to a part of the face not covered by headgear, or the impact may be too strong to be sufficiently absorbed by the protection. For an overview of the topic, I’d like to welcome my first guest.
Did you ever suffer a concussion or head injury while playing soccer yourself? You know, they’re not really in it for the safety of the player. In fact, there’s a study that was done and they found that females that had head protection had increased acceleration when hitting a ball. And I think that is a factor and then there is the question listening to you all whether it really would make a difference or not. It’s kind of hard to compare because, you know, it’s not like you’re going to say, well, let’s play American football without helmets. Dr. Echemendia, I wanted to ask you, you know, there was, as Dr. Perry points out, this original concern about players heading the ball but that’s sort of changed now. ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) set a product performance standard for headgear in soccer in 2006.
SKEEN: They’re absolutely uninformed. Kids are not going to hit each other if they’re playing the sport of American football without a helmet. Dr. Putukian is a former soccer player and coach, who also serves as a team physician for the U.S. Soccer National team. When a player registers for a league or for a team, in many cases part of that registration fee goes to U.S. Soccer so they stand to lose quite a bit of money. I mean, you’re going to get some male players, very macho, who say I’m not wearing anything on my head. You can stick a football field inside a soccer field and have lots of space around it. Learn more about team order options (see bottom option). Thank you for your call. We’re talking about the risk of head injury associated with the sport of soccer, most especially the risk of concussion in youth soccer. Dr. Echemendia currently works as a consultant for U.S. Soccer National teams, and the NHL.
So it’s something, I think, has sort of gradually built over the years. DR. PUTUKIAN: And having said that, though, there’s one rugby study that showed that headgear didn’t decrease concussions, it decreased some facial lacerations and contusions. You know, you’re using instrumented crash test dummies. CAVANAUGH: We have a number of callers who want to get in on our conversation here so let me take a call now from Scott in San Diego. You certainly need to have rule enforcement, education and, in fact, it may—it may—increase risk. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Association_football_headgear&oldid=974041592, Articles with dead external links from October 2016, Articles with permanently dead external links, Wikipedia articles needing factual verification from January 2014, Articles with specifically marked weasel-worded phrases from January 2014, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 20 August 2020, at 19:11. Let’s take another call. Mark Zeigler is a sports reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune, who frequently covers soccer. I remember hearing about some studies in Scandinavia about the impact of head injuries in soccer and how significant they might be. CAVANAUGH: Well, thank you.
A plastic helmet as in other sports would not suffice since they are bulky and may consist of uneven surfaces; this would make ball control off a header nearly impossible. DR. PERRY: Yes, that’s true. You know, it – You talk to some players – Shannon MacMillan, I know, a local legend…. CAVANAUGH: Now, I understand several high profile soccer players, including Chelsea Goalkeeper Petr Cech, have suffered serious head injuries and they’ve started wearing a certain kind of headgear. They’re manufactured so that you lessen the amount of impact that’s coming to the head. And I think probably some of our listeners may be thinking that, too. Certainly there’s a lot of room for some large scale studies and, in fact, with this very issue there are large scale studies that are needed to examine the efficacy of these headgears in a clinical situation. Shop for all your soccer equipment and apparel needs. CAVANAUGH: We have to take a short break. SKEEN: Well, I watched my daughter grow up playing soccer and as she progressed in her ability and age and competitiveness, I began to observe concussions occurring on the field, several of which actually happened to her.
DR. ECHEMENDIA: I agree. CAVANAUGH: I see. ZEIGLER: It goes back and forth. ZEIGLER: That’s a good question. So I don’t think that necessarily adding protection does much other than maybe give the athlete a false sense of protection. DR. PUTUKIAN: I see that there might be a role if you’re a goalkeeper it may be a little bit different where there may be, you know, there the way they play is a little bit different. DR. ECHEMENDIA: Well, no. CAVANAUGH: But I also want to pursue this idea of a stigma attached to wearing headgear in socca – soccer, that is. But I don’t think you’re going to eliminate it in the sport. Football is thought of as a rough and tumble game where kids can get hurt, soccer, not so much. Would you think it’s perhaps time to make one definitive one?
It’s also true in football. But, unfortunately, the statistics tell a different story. All this hour we'll be speaking with a series of guests, including some of soccer's best-known medical experts, to find out if the risk of concussion should make protective head gear a requirement for soccer players. MARKO: I agree with what has been said in the program about education so education of the players and education of the coaches and parents. DR. WILLIAM PERRY (Professor of Psychology, UCSD School of Medicine): Good morning, Maureen. They’re, you know, constantly diving at someone’s, you know, feet or knees. The soccer helmet of claim 1, wherein the outer surface of the shell layer is smooth at an area corresponding to a human forehead. It’s become one of the largest sports in the United States and it’s certainly the largest participation sport in the world with 240 million players. In addition, for maximum performance, the Head Guard must be sized and fitted properly, and replaced promptly if fit loosens over time or falls off during participation in soccer or other sports. And so just the athleticism and the nature of the sport has made it much more prone to physical contact. Participation in soccer and other sports exposes the participant to the risk of injuries, and participation in such sports implies acceptance of such risk. What you have to keep in mind is that our knowledge of concussions and the effects of concussions have really only evolved over the last 10 or 15 years so there’s a lot that we don’t understand about the injury. The most protective 5-star ASTM-certified headgear in soccer, our ExoShield Head Guard is the only product shown to statistically reduce the risk of head injuries in a recent multi-year independent study.*. And so they’ve done some things but I don’t think they’ve maybe been as proactive as they could and they’ve commissioned – both bodies have commissioned studies but, you know, I’ve looked at some of those studies and said, well, they’re very self-serving studies, they’re not truly independent research. So I think at the same time we’re having a significant increase in terms of, you know, this being on the radar for parents, coaches and, certainly, athletic trainers and team physicians, and so we’re better able to identify athletes that have concussion. I’ve been a soccer player for awhile now and I play in a co-ed team in Encinitas and I’ve tried the Full 90 headgear…. I mean, I hate to say this. Thank you, Dr. Perry. [5] The U.S. Soccer Federation sees that protective headgear in soccer can provide measurable benefit in head to head contact, and permits players to wear headgear at their own discretion until more conclusive evidence is obtained.[6]. [6] Because of this, the aim of wearing headgear turned to mitigating damage from accidental head on head collisions between players on the pitch. Since "soccer is one of a few sports in which the head is intentionally and frequently used to strike the ball", a uniquely designed form of headgear was created.A plastic helmet as in other sports would not suffice since they are bulky and may consist of uneven surfaces; this would make ball control off a header nearly impossible. MARKO (Caller, San Diego): Good morning. CAVANAUGH: I wonder, Marko, would you have a problem seeing some sort of protective headgear introduced into soccer? So – But there’s a little bit of a resistance and maybe some of that comes from having been a player and, you know, I can’t imagine putting a headband on my head and trying to play. Are there any longterm studies of repetitive head-butting? SKEEN: It’s a relatively simple device. So even wearing something like protective headgear has some concerns associated with it and I think the best intervention is education. I’m a neuropsychologist here in the Department of Psychiatry and I work closely with my son’s competitive soccer team here locally and serve as their manager for the Rancho Santa Fe Attack Team.
