Parametric Analysis of the Influence of Elastomeric Foam on the Head Response During Soccer Heading Manoeuvre

Parametric Analysis of the Influence of Elastomeric Foam on the Head Response During Soccer Heading Manoeuvre

Soccer is a unique game that permits the purposeful usage of the head in directing the ball. A lot of studies have coupled heading in soccer with brain trauma injury. This has led to the introduction of various protective headgears for soccer players. Nonetheless, studies have shown that these headg...
