The incidence of nonfatal neck injuries in high school football was determined by performing preseason examinations in 104 active high school players and 75 college freshman candidates. Coaches of all 430 Iowa high schools were asked to recall the number of players experiencing significant neck pain during the season. A detailed questionnaire for each injury was also completed by a sample population of 60 coaches. The incidence of roentgenographic evidence of neck injuries was as high as 32% and was related to years of experience. Injury was most likely to occur to a linebacker or a defensive halfback when they tackled the ball carrier. In the preseason examination, half the players who volunteered a history of significant neck pain had abnormal x-ray films.
通过对104名活跃的高中球员和75名大学新生候选人进行季前检查，确定了高中橄榄球运动中非致命颈部损伤的发生率。研究人员要求爱荷华州430所高中的所有教练回忆本赛季中经历严重颈部疼痛的球员人数。此外，还让60名教练组成的样本群体填写了关于每起损伤的详细问卷。颈部损伤的X线证据发生率高达32%，且与经验年限有关。当线卫或防守后卫擒抱持球者时，他们最容易受伤。在季前检查中，有颈部严重疼痛病史的球员中，有一半的X线片显示异常。
