"HARD knocks to the head are a constant concern in contact sports — and
not just in football or boxing, where recent attention has focused.
Millions of girls and boys play hockey, soccer, lacrosse and other
sports where blows to the head from collisions and falls are part of the
game, even in youth leagues and on high school teams. (...)
A crop of new lightweight devices that athletes can wear on the field
may help people on sidelines keep better track of hits to players’ heads
during games and practice sessions. The devices, packed with sensors
and microprocessors, register a blow to a player’s skull and immediately
signal the news by blinking brightly, or by sending a wireless alert.
Athletes can wear the devices pressed tightly to their heads, held in
place by a headband within a beanie, for example, or even by an adhesive
patch and Velcro.
Many of the systems are in research and development, but a few products
are coming to the market this summer, including the CheckLight, a
washable beanie created jointly by MC10 and Reebok." (Source) |
