AshtonYate Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Footballers in England are to be limited to 10 "higher force" headers a week in training under new guidelines for the upcoming season. It comes after "multiple studies" were conducted into concerns about the long-term dangers of heading. In 2019, a study found professional footballers more likely to suffer from neurodegenerative brain disease. The new guidance is for professional and amateur players across England from the start of the 2021-22 season. What are peoples thoughts on this?

LondonBristolian Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's difficult to state an opinion confidently without having seen the research but I think, if there is evidence that heading causes brain injuries and brain disease, this seems like a positive step to reduce the risk.
