To assess mild head injury effects in adolescent soccer players, neuropsychological performance across school team soccer players, rugby players and noncontact sport players was assessed in a quasi-experimental cross-sectional design. One hundred eighty-five males were tested (ages 13-16; response rate 55%) and 86 contributed data to the analyses after exclusion for recent concussion and overlapping sports participation. Soccer players showed lower premorbid intellectual functioning, but neither soccer players nor rugby players showed neuropsychological decrement compared with noncontact sport players. Cumulative heading did not predict neuropsychological performance. While no specific attribute of soccer was linked with neuropsychological impairment, head injury predicted reduced attention for all participants.
为了评估青少年足球运动员轻度头部损伤的影响，采用准实验性横断面设计，对校队足球运动员、橄榄球运动员和非接触性运动运动员的神经心理学表现进行了评估。共有 185 名男性接受了测试（年龄 13-16 岁；应答率为 55%），在排除了最近的脑震荡和重叠运动参与后，有 86 人对分析数据做出了贡献。足球运动员表现出较低的前期智力功能，但与非接触性运动运动员相比，足球运动员和橄榄球运动员的神经心理学表现均无下降。累计头球次数并不能预测神经心理学表现。虽然足球运动没有特定的属性与神经心理学损伤有关，但头部受伤导致所有参与者的注意力下降。
