Head impacts are common in contact sports, but only recently has there been a rising awareness of the effects
of subconcussive impacts in adolescent athletes. A better understanding of how to attenuate head impacts is
needed and therefore, this study investigated the relationship between neck strength, impact, and neurocognitive
function in an acute bout of soccer heading in a sample of female high school varsity soccer players. Seventeen
participants completed the ImPACT neurocognitive test and had their isometric neck strength tested (flexion,
extension, and bilateral flexion) before heading drills. Each participant was outfitted with custom headgear
with timing switches and a three-dimensional accelerometer affixed to the back of the head, which allowed for
measurement of impact during heading. Participants performed a series of 15 directional headers, including 5
forward, 5 left and 5 right headers in a random order, then completed the ImPACT test again. Neurocognitive
tests revealed no significant changes following heading. However, there were statistically significant, moderate,
negative correlations (r = –0.500:–0.757, p < .05) between neck strength and resultant header acceleration,
indicating that those with weaker necks sustained greater impacts. This suggests neck strengthening may be
an important component of any head injury prevention/reduction program.

Tujuh belaspeserta menyelesaikan tes neurokognitif dampak dan memiliki kekuatan isometrik leher mereka diuji (fleksi,ekstensi, dan fleksi bilateral) sebelum menuju latihan. Setiap peserta outfitted dengan tutup kepala kustomdengan waktu switch dan accelerometer tiga dimensi ditempelkan ke bagian belakang kepala, yang memungkinkan untukpengukuran dampak selama pos. Peserta melakukan serangkaian 15 header terarah, termasuk 5ke depan, 5 kiri dan 5 tepat header dalam urutan acak, kemudian menyelesaikan tes dampak lagi. NeurokognitifUji ini mengungkapkan ada perubahan yang signifikan mengikuti judul. Namun, ada signifikan secara statistik, moderat,korelasi negatif (r =-0.500: –0.757, p < 05) antara kekuatan leher dan percepatan resultan header,menunjukkan bahwa orang-orang dengan leher yang lebih lemah dipertahankan dampak yang lebih besar. Ini menunjukkan leher penguatan mungkinkomponen penting dari program pencegahan pengurangan cedera kepala.Kata kunci: remaja, kekuatan, latihan pelatihan, jenis kelamin, kedokteran olahraga, biomekanik
