Just one season of football resulted in signs of damage to brain development for those youth players who have frequent impacts to the head, according to a study, CNN reported on Monday.
"Repetitive head impact exposure may have a cumulative effect in the rapidly developing brains of youth and high school football players," said study co-author Gowtham Krishnan Murugesan.
The study provided 60 football players between the ages of 9 and 18 who had no history of head trauma or developmental issues with a telemetry system that measures impacts to the head.
The players were put into two categories - those with high cumulative head impacts and those with low cumulative ones.
