In a workshop entitled "Youth Soccer: Neuropsychological Consequences of Head Impact in Sports," that was held in Washington D.C. on October 12, 2001, these experts presented the scientific evidence for long-term consequences of head injury from youth sports, especially soccer, possible approaches to reduce the risks, and policy issues raised by the subject. Some of the findings presented by the speakers raised concerns, such as the high concussion rate of high school soccer players, the frequent persistence of impaired brain functions even after other symptoms of a concussion disappear, and the need for a better understanding of when it is safe for players to resume playing after they have had a concussion. But other findings were reassuring, such as studies that suggest that with the type of soccer balls used in the United States, heading is not likely to cause brain injury in youths, nor is playing soccer likely to cause permanent brain damage. This is a summary of the reports from these experts in the field, and the lively discussions that followed them. Topics covered include: causes of head injuries in soccer; how to detect a concussion; the biology of concussion; studies of soccer and football players; the role of protective headgear; and policy implications, such as how to decide when a concussed player should be allowed to return to the playing field. 606 $aSoccer injuries 606 $aSports injuries in children 615 0$aSoccer injuries. 615 0$aSports injuries in children. 676 $a617.1027 701 $aJoy$b Janet E$g(Janet Elizabeth),$f1953-$01812061 701 $aPatlak$b Margie$01607028 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.) Board on Neuroscience and Behavioral Health. 712 12$aYouth Soccer: Neuropsychological Consequences of Head Impact in Sports.
