Development of a soccer ball launching device

Soccer players are allowed to use their heads to direct the ball to the teammates during the game. Studies have shown that purposeful heading of the ball in soccer might cause long-term traumatic brain injury. In order to analyze the impact of soccer heading on the brain in the laboratory, a device...

Studies have shown that purposeful heading of the ball in soccer might cause long-term traumatic brain injury.
