Footballers who hit the ball with the head can have brain function affected

Bogota: Soccer players who hit the ball with their head can have a significant decline in brain function.

According to media reports, a research study in this regard has come out in Columbia, which was presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Dr. Michael L. Lipton, senior author of the study and a professor of radiology at Columbia University’s Vajillos College of Physicians, says the effects of repeated hits to the head can lead to medical problems later in life even when Even if there is no obvious injury.

Dr. Michael, who is also a professor of biomedical engineering, said that over the years, repeated head impacts in sports leading to neurodegenerative disease and dementia have been of great concern worldwide.

However, he added that more research is needed to understand the changes in brain function that indicate the potential for long-term damage.
