“…[12][13][14][15][16] The head and neck sustain a relatively small proportion of overall injuries, ranging from 5% to 13%. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Fortunately, most injuries are contusions, musculotendinous strains, and ligamentous sprains. 12,13,15,17,18 Available data suggest that both the overall incidence and the severity of injuries sustained by younger football players are lower than those sustained by older players, [12][13][14][15][16]18,19,[21][22][23][24][25] although this finding is not universally consistent.…”

American football remains one of the most popular sports for young athletes. The injuries sustained during football, especially those to the head and neck, have been a topic of intense interest recently in both the public media and medical literature. The recognition of these injuries and the potential for longterm sequelae have led some physicians to call for a reduction in the number of contact practices, a postponement of tackling until a certain age, and even a ban on high school football. This statement reviews the literature regarding injuries in football, particularly those of the head and neck, the relationship between tackling and football-related injuries, and the potential effects of limiting or delaying tackling on injury risk.

“…Previous studies describing injuries in populations of young people have addressed different issues related to injuries, such as associations between risk factors, behaviours, environmental factors and injuries (Pickett et al 2002), or the patterns of different types of injuries such as those associated with violence-related injuries (Hayes andHemenway 1999, Pickett et al 2005) or sport injuries (Goldberg et al 1988). Other studies were based on consequences of injuries, such as hospital admissions (Spady et al 2004) and visits to clinics (Hambridge et al 2002).…”
