Barça attack. Sergio Ramos jumped to clear the ball, which Griezmann had left suspended in the air, but on the jump he hit Luis Suárez’s elbow, who was trying to finish the ball. Ramos falls to the ground, stunned. He did not lose consciousness, but the assistants took him out. A few minutes later he rejoins the game. Nothing happened here. Or if? This scene is hidden for Valencian Enrique Noé, neurologist and research director at Vithas Institute for Neurological Rehabilitation, Irenea. one of the perils of the king of sport: lower tremors understood as “play sets” of players and We see them as something normal, but they are not.“.
At first, they may not be as striking or alarming as a concussion that leaves the player unconscious and lying on the grass, but these minor head injuries can be albeit lightly, “They can be just as serious or more. than the more serious and flamboyant ones, if any. repeat“, warns the Valencian neurologist, secretary of the International Brain Injury Association.
Noé spearheaded a study conducted at Irenea that tracked Real Madrid’s 38 league games in the 2019-2020 season to draw attention to how frequent these events are and warn of their long-term consequences. The results he presented at the XXXIX Meeting of the Valencian Neurological Society, held in Valencia in May, leave no doubt: the study 61 effects as lower concussion This affected 15 out of 26 Real Madrid players, almost 60% of the team.
Defenses, most affected
The study details how defenses are the players who suffer the mostin front of forwards, and most commonly, they take part in an air duel for the ball, in the small field, and for the ball. one player’s head hitting another’s arm. It is also important from where the players are hit. According to the study of Enrique Noé (who was also joined by six other Irenea neurological rehabilitation specialists), blows are taken from the parieto-occipital region, to the forehead and nose, or to the back of the head.
“Concussions are minor head injuries and are the most common, but there are degrees,” explains the expert. From unconsciousness to sub-concussions of headshots in football and do not leave alarming symptoms“Maybe one minimal dizziness or disorientationso little that even the players themselves don’t want to leave the game, but even “added over time” changes in the structure of the brain“It can cause cognitive, behavioral, and even emergence. predicting neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia‘ he warns.
Often even the actor himself does not pay attention to them. But neither are medical care teams. The work of the neurologist also affects this aspect. According to the research, in 45.9% of cases, the foul was not even called, and in 32% of the cases, the game was not even stopped. The neurologist concludes: “The protocol, assessment of the player’s condition should take between 10 and 15 minutes but the average time in the 61 we recorded was 80 seconds.”
Higher risk of dementia among Swedish football players
What it might mean in the long run, that’s accumulation of small bumps on the head For professional players, this is not (yet) a topic of discussion in the Spanish league, but it is being discussed in other leagues in the rest of the world. There is a lot of work that already exists in the NFL, the professional American football league, but also in European leagues such as the Premier (English football) or the Swedish football league Allsvenskan. In the Scandinavian country “even an epidemiological study has been done on professional gamers in the last decades, in this study the players compared to a population of the same age.” increased risk of dementia or neurodegenerative disease, especially couple risky. Everyone except the goalkeepers,” says the neurologist.
Spain is still a long way from doing this work, but according to Enrique Noé, “we are behind schedule, but the future. The king of the sport is 150 years old and there really isn’t many generations, but we’ll see how things go. They’ve been among the top players in recent years. ” it could be minor problems with attention, memory, loss of speed while processing things behavior problems “as more rigidity, more irritability in interacting with others,” or already leads to dementia.
According to Noé, the study aims not to seek change in the Professional League, but to draw attention to potential dangers and in other countries, particularly in the sub-categories football and these “game rivalries” affect children. “Some countries have already taken action. The longer we delay exposing children’s brains to these events (and the younger they are, the more vulnerable they are), the better because of the cumulative effect, no doubt.” Endgame.
