New kinesiology study makes headlines in football world
A new study by assistant professor Julianne Schmidt has gotten the attention of many in the football world after her new article, which examines the severity of head impacts in high school games, was published in the journal Pediatrics.
The study found a player’s starting stance, the distance a player ran, and whether they made an impact with another player all had an effect on the severity of the head impact. The study has also been cited by stories from Reuters, HealthDay, and Neurology Advisor.
