OBJECTIVE
To provide evidence-based recommendations for reducing the prevalence of head-first contact behavior in American football players with the aim of reducing the risk of head and neck injuries.
BACKGROUND
In American football, using the head as the point of contact is a persistent, well-documented, and direct cause of catastrophic head and cervical spine injury. Equally concerning is that repeated head-impact exposures are likely to result from head-first contact behavior and may be associated with long-term neurocognitive conditions such as dementia, depression, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
CONCLUSIONS
The National Athletic Trainers' Association proposes 14 recommendations to help the certified athletic trainer, allied health care provider, coach, player, parent, and broader community implement strategies for reducing the prevalence of head-first contact in American football.
目的
提供循证建议，以减少美式足球运动员头部接触行为的发生率，从而降低头部和颈部受伤的风险。
背景
在美式足球中，头部作为接触点是导致头部和颈椎灾难性损伤的一个持续存在、有充分记录和直接的原因。同样令人担忧的是，头部首次接触行为可能会导致重复的头部撞击，并可能与痴呆、抑郁和慢性创伤性脑病等长期神经认知状况有关。
结论
美国国家运动训练协会提出了 14 项建议，以帮助认证运动训练师、辅助医疗保健提供者、教练、球员、家长和更广泛的社区实施策略，以减少美式足球中头部接触的发生率。
