Abstract

Repetitive head impacts are a growing concern for youth and adolescent contact sport athletes as they have been linked to long term negative brain health outcomes. Of all contact sports, tackle football and ice hockey have been reported to have the highest incidence of head or brain injury however, each sporting environment is unique with distinct rules and regulations regarding contact and collisions. The purpose of this research was to measure and compare the head impact frequency and estimated magnitude of brain tissue strain, amongst youth tackle football and ice hockey players during game play. Head impact frequency was documented by video analysis of youth tackle football and ice hockey game play. Impact magnitude was determined through physical laboratory reconstructions and finite element modelling to estimate brain tissue strains. Tackle football demonstrated significantly higher impact frequency (P
