Should field hockey players wear head protection? Learn why brain protection matters in hockey, how head protection differs from brain protection, and why Rezon Halos® is designed to reduce rotational forces linked to brain injury.
The most effective way to protect a child’s brain in contact and collision sports is to reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain during concussive and sub-concussive head impacts.
Rotational forces cause the brain to rotate inside the skull during head impacts, leading to microscopic damage to brain cells, blood vessels, and the blood–brain barrier. This mechanism happens in concussions and sub-concussions, and increases long-term brain injury risk.
