Head strike the ball frequently may harm brain
Scientists warned that the use of the head to pass the ball frequently may lead to damage in the brain. Showed brain scans carried out for 32 amateur player that the damage observed in brain tissue similar to the damage observed in patients with concussion of the brain.
Believed that the vertical passing game is what caused the death of the English player Jeff Estelle, who played in Britain's national team and club West Bromwich Albion for years, where he suffered at the end of his life and cognitive problems that were a result of degeneration in the brain.
Although the ball is currently used in the game of football is much lighter than that used in previous decades but it is capable of causing possible damage in the brain, says Dr. Michael Lipton of the Albert Einstein Hospital.

A team of Dr. Lipton examined the impact of these strikes on the top soccer players, where they used a special kind of brain scan is used to see the brain tissue and nerves, and try it on 32 volunteers of amateur soccer players. The pictures showed volunteers who responded that they were "beating the ball with the head Bashkll large" clear signs of the presence of minor injuries in the brain, are concentrated in specific regions of the brain: the frontal region, extending towards the rear of the skull, and are the areas responsible for attention and memory, and vision and others.
And Dr. Lipton commented that heading the ball does not happen like this damage in nerve cells is necessary, but the beatings factors may lead to end the creation of such damage.
The volunteers were exposed to cognitive tests, such as memory and speed of audio feedback, and it was noted that these volunteers were weaker than their counterparts in previous tests.
On the other hand, said Dr. Andrew Rutherford from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Keele, on the results of the study, saying that such results can not be relied upon without evidence more decisive, it may be the damage may not be due to hit the ball but collided heads of the players while trying to pass the head.
