Beware O 'football players or those who just simply fun to play ball. A study of the Montefiore Medical Center, University Hospital for Albert Einstein College of Medicine said, too much the ball will have an impact on brain damage. The threat of brain damage is in the back of the skull that is the executive memory.
The case of England footballer Jeff Astle died in 2002 and believed by researchers due to brain damage in the back of his skull. While the authorities concluded the death was caused by a football player degenaratif brain due to the heavy leather ball.
The researchers used a special type of brain scan known as diffusion tensor imaging is good to visualize nerves and human brain tissue. A total of 32 volunteers had a scan and asked to answer the volume of the intensity of their ball. Damage only occurs on a player who claims to have the ball at least a thousand times a year, although this sounds like a lot but it was done several times a day for a regular player.
Dr. Lipton, who presented the findings at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America said that the ball is not the cause of the magnitude of the effects-laden nerve damage in the brain.
"But over and over she repeated this activity, will lead to cause degeneration of brain cells," he warned.
But researchers from the School of Psychology at Keele University, Dr Andrew Rutherford doubted the results of such research. Andrew Rutherford has been researching the possibility of damage caused by heading the ball for several years. But he was not convinced by the evidence available so far. Senior researcher sees nothing wrong. Andrew believes the potential for brain degeneration occurs because of a football player collided head when they scramble the ball in the air, rather than direct contact with the round leather.
