“…1,6,7,24 Additionally, underdeveloped cervical muscle strength, behavioral decision-making, and intuitive ability to anticipate impacts of younger athletes also heighten risks of head injury. 27,50 Head impacts experienced by youth have been reported to result in structural and functional changes to the brain that lead to serious long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits. 1,12,27 There does not exist a clear relationship between head impact magnitude and consequential concussion diagnoses.…”

The relationship between head impact and subsequent brain injury for American football players is not well defined, especially for youth. The objective of this study is to quantify and assess Head Impact Exposure (HIE) metrics among youth and collegiate football players. This multiseason study enrolled 639 unique athletes (354 collegiate; 285 youth, ages 9-14), recording 476,209 head impacts (367,337 collegiate; 108,872 youth) over 971 sessions (480 collegiate; 491 youth). Youth players experienced 43 and 65% fewer impacts per competition and practice, respectively, and lower impact magnitudes compared to collegiate players (95th percentile peak linear acceleration (

“…Many previous studies have discussed the importance of anthropometric measurements for athletes in various sports fields such as soccer [11,12], volleyball [13], basketball [14], and their comparison to non-athletes [15]. But there is still limited research discussing the validity of anthropometric measurements, especially for sports measurements by utilizing a new technology.…”

This research aimed at determining the effectiveness of the use of computer-integrated anthropometrics and vertical jump as a measuring device. The participants were 42 students aged 18-21 years old. The research design used was counterbalanced-design. The instrument used was the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) to measure body weight (BW), body height (BH), arm span (AS), limb length (LL), and vertical jump (VJ) in one set of device and compared with Standard Anthropometric Test (SAT) consist of anthropometric measurements including BW, BH, AS and LL that follow the standard procedure from the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment (ISAK) and Sargent Jump test to measure vertical jumps. The results showed that the IAT and SAT measurements had a validity measurement value of BW measurements of 0.994, BH of 0.969, AS of 0.820, LL of 0.745, and VJ of 0.903 with P <0.01, and the total duration of the IAT measurement process was 36 minutes 18 seconds, SAT was 1 hour 7 minutes 27 seconds. It was concluded that the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) had a very high validity value for the BW, BH, AS, and VJ measurements and a high category for LL measurements so that it can be used as an anthropometric and vertical jump measurement device. As IAT had a shorter measurement duration than SAT, it can be said that IAT had a good level of effectiveness.

“…Significant variability in body size, physical ability, and strength among the youth population may also contribute to differences in HIE among athletes (22)(23)(24). Physical performance characteristics have been suggested as risk factors for concussion and other injuries in football, with faster and stronger athletes potentially more likely to engage in contact (22,25,26).…”

Purpose: Head impact exposure (HIE) (i.e., magnitude and frequency of impacts) can vary considerably among individuals within a single football team. To better understand individualspecific factors that may explain variation in head impact biomechanics, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between physical performance measures and HIE metrics in youth football players.Methods: Head impact data were collected from youth football players using the Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System. HIE was quantified in terms of impact frequency, linear and rotational head acceleration, and risk-weighted cumulative exposure metrics (RWE Linear , RWE Rotational , and RWE CP ). Study participants completed 4 physical performance tests: vertical jump, shuttle run, 3cone, and 40 yard sprint. The relationships between performance measures and HIE metrics were evaluated using linear regression analyses.Results: A total of 51 youth football athletes (ages: 9-13 years old) completed performance testing and received a combined 13,770 head impacts measured with the HIT System for a full season. All performance measures were significantly correlated with total number of impacts in a season, RWE Linear -Season, and all RWE-Game metrics. The strongest relationships were between 40 yard sprint speed and all RWE-Game metrics (all p≤0.0001 and partial R 2 >0.3). The only significant relationships among HIE metrics in practice were between shuttle run speed and total
