Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess the realistic magnitude of the header burden in children's and youth' football in eight European countries. In a cross-sectional observational design, one match of 60 different teams in each of the eight European countries were monitored via video recording throughout the second half of the regular season 2017/18 and the first half of the regular season 2018/19. Clubs with (female, male, or mixed) Under-10, Under-12 and female and male Under-16 teams were invited to participate. Header frequencies and types were analysed using standardized heading registration forms. Additionally, head injuries were recorded using standardized head injury registration forms.
