This study investigated the role of heading recency interacting with heading frequency in determining neuropsychological deficits associated with heading the ball during soccer play. Sixty-four high-ability male soccer players ages 16 to 34 completed the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT), the Trailmaking Test, the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), the Facial Recognition Test, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, and the Shipley Scales. Heading recency interacted with heading frequency, such that players with the highest self-reported estimates of heading who also experienced heading within the previous 7 days scored significantly lower on CVLT, Shipley, Trailmaking, and PASAT than other combinations of heading and recency. Although strict ball-to-head contacts could not be isolated as sufficient to cause this interaction, these results increase the weight of evidence that heading behavior is problematic for causing at least transient cognitive impairment.
本研究调查了头球新近度与头球频率相互作用在确定与足球比赛中头球相关的神经心理缺陷方面所起的作用。64名年龄在16至34岁之间的高能力男性足球运动员完成了加利福尼亚言语学习测试（CVLT）、连线测验、听觉连续加法测验（PASAT）、面部识别测试、雷-奥斯特里茨复杂图形测试和希普利量表测试。头球新近度与头球频率相互作用，自我报告头球次数最多且在过去7天内有过头球经历的球员在CVLT、希普利量表、连线测验和PASAT上的得分显著低于其他头球和新近度组合的球员。尽管无法确定严格的球对头接触足以导致这种相互作用，但这些结果增加了证据权重，表明头球行为至少会导致短暂的认知障碍。
