Protecting children playing hockey, soccer, football, basketball and
baseball from serious brain injuries could take simple solutions like
padding goal posts and enforcing existing rules, a Canadian study
suggests.
.
Researchers used data from 12,799 kids aged five to 19 who went to
emergency departments across the country over nearly 20 years for brain
injuries and categorized them by players' ages, sports and how the injury
was sustained being struck by a player, an object such as net or ball, or
playing surface.
.
In Thursday's issue of the journal PLOS One, they said hockey accounted
for 44 per cent of all injuries and almost 70 per cent of them occurred in
children over age 10 from player-to-player contact or being hit into the
boards.

The findings included:
.
Hockey: Checking into the boards caused the greatest proportion of brain
injuries.
.
Soccer: 19 per cent of youth who suffered brain injuries got them on the
pitch, with most in the 10-to-14 or 15-to-19 age group. In those age
groups, high kicks to the head or head-on-head collisions were the most
common reason. For children five to nine, striking a surface or a goal
post was the most likely source of the head injury. It's for these
youngest players that the researchers suggested using moveable goal posts
that are padded.
.
Baseball: Baseball accounted for 15.3 per cent of brain injuries. Most of
them occurred in children under the age of 14, with 45 per cent in
children under nine. Ball and bat injuries were common, mainly because
teammates stood too close to the batter or bat and weren't supervised by
an adult.
.
Football and rugby: Accounted for 12.9 per cent and 5.6 per cent of
injuries, respectively, mainly caused by tackling.
.
Basketball : 11.6 per of injuries, mostly caused by elbowing, which
increased as players got older and more competitive. Younger players
tended to strike fixed structures like posts.
