Game Changer? Study Examines Football's Hard Hits

Reported by www.fox8.com/sports; Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic received a $100,000 grant from NFL Charities to study youth football. Specifically they are working with the Mayfield Wildcat Youth Football Club, examining the players' speed, strength and recovery from head injuries and concussions.

Fifty-five players, ages 7 through 12, are participating in the research which will follow the young people as their athletic careers advance in high school, college and perhaps the pros.

"The ultimate goal is to work with manufacturers of helmets and shoulder pads to develop the best equipment" said Bob Gray, Cleveland Clinic Coordinator of Athletic Training and Sports Health.
