Factors affecting peak impact force during soccer headers and implications for the mitigation of head injuries
Fig 1
Experimental set-up used for each kick of a soccer ball.
The vertically mounted force plate collected impact force data through the PASCO Xplorer GLX™ sensor receiver unit connected to a laptop running PASCO Capstone Software™ [29]. A camera mounted on a crossbar above the force plate captured impact motion for calculating ball velocity.
