Sub-concussive impacts and the menstrual cycle: A study of elite female footballers
Lowery, M., Ronca, F., Bruinvels, G., Jones, C., Loosemore, M., Burgess, P.Published in 29th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, 2-5 July 2024, Book of Abstracts (2024)“…INTRODUCTION: Sub-concussive head impacts, particularly those incurred through sports like football, have been associated with long-term neurological risks. While repetitive sub-concussive head impacts have been extensively studied in male athletes, there is a dearth of research focusing on female athletes, despite evidence suggesting potential differences in susceptibility to sports-related concussion and symptom severity across menstrual cycle phases, particularly in the luteal phase. …”

Head impact kinematics and brain deformation in paired opposing youth football players
Milef, G. M., Miller, L. E., DiGuglielmo, D. M., Payne, T. D., Filben, T. M., Urban, J. E., Stitzel, J. D.Published in Journal of Applied Biomechanics (2022)“…Although these impacts do not result in acute signs and symptoms of concussion, evidence suggests that accumulated repetitive subconcussive impacts may be associated with long-term neurological damage and can cause changes in the brain after a single season.3,4 As adolescence is a time of brain growth and development, understanding head impact exposure (HIE) is of utmost importance to mitigate adverse effects of head impacts in youth football. …”
