 Soccer is becoming more and more popular in the United States. And while other soccer-related injuries are happening less frequently, youth soccer players in the United States are experiencing more concussions. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by the head experiencing an impact and moving quickly back and forth, causing the brain to bounce around in the skull.OP.CF.L6.002 [35]


A concussion can result from a force of 400–1,000 N on the head. There has been debate in different sports about how to best prevent concussions. In soccer, one idea is to ban headers (when a ball makes contact with a head) in youth and professional soccer.

Which is the moment of peak (max) force of a header in soccer?

a)

Option 1

b)

Option 2

c)

Option 3

d)

Option 4

Sports scientists concluded that concussions result from headers, a running player colliding with another running player and a running player hitting the ground. So far in this unit, we have looked at collisions and how much kinetic energy the objects in the system have before they collide and how this is related to the peak forces they can produce in any collision. Let’s consider the three main types of systems that can lead to concussions and make predictions about them using forces and energy as it relates to Player #84.

Considering both objects that are about to collide in each interaction, which system would you predict to have the least amount of total kinetic energy in the system right before the objects collide? In each instance below, Player #84 is running at a speed of 7 miles per hour.

a)
Player #84 running and heading the soccer ball that was kicked by another player
b)
Player #84 running and colliding with another running player running towards them
c)
Player #84 running and hitting the ground

The brain is an organ made of interconnected cells called neurons.  Neurons send signals to communicate information from one cell to another. The long part of the neuron is called an axon, and they have a breaking point.  Recent research provides evidence that permanent damage to axons in the brain occurs from just a single damaging head collision (concussion).  

An example of breaking points is...

a)
Spaghetti noodle snapping
b)
Filling a glass of water
c)
A rope fraying
d)
Dropping a metal water bottle
