New research from the University of British Columbia has found measurable effects on the brain from using the head to pass, shoot or clear the ball.

Heading the ball isn’t typically linked with concussions, but the study found a slowing of brain activity following the impacts.

The resulting brainwaves, researchers said, are typically associated with sleep and drowsiness.
