Soccer Heading Model

The Soccer Heading Model is a controlled research framework for examining how purposeful ball-to-head impacts may influence behavior, cognition, and motor performance. It models heading exposure by standardizing factors such as impact delivery and repetition, then assesses behavioral responses through structured performance or observation-based measures. This approach helps researchers separate effects associated with heading from broader aspects of soccer participation, supporting studies of learning, attention, coordination, and risk. By linking a realistic sport action with measurable behavioral outcomes, the model provides a practical foundation for investigating short-term responses and informing safer training and participation practices.

Source: Yang, Z., et.al. A Repetitive Concussive Head Injury Model in Mice. J. Vis. Exp. (2016).This video demonstrates the induction of repetitive concussive head injuries in a mouse using an electromagnetic impact device. The procedure involves positioning the impact tip between the interfrontal and lambdoid sutures on the skull of an anesthetized mouse and using a probe tip to precisely set the impact depth. The impact is delivered at a controlled velocity and depth to simulate mild...

We describe a novel neuromuscular training intervention based on mobility, stability, anterior chain strength, lumbopelvic control, posterior chain strength, and change of direction exercises. After the intervention, adult female soccer players improved their performance in speed variables, changes of direction, and jumping ability.
