The influence of delivery method and impact location on soccer heading kinetics in adolescent and adult females
Power and energy metrics demonstrated greater distributional spread and may provide a complementary characterization of head loading alongside peak kinematics for more comprehensive analyses. These metrics are also easy to interpret, providing additional tools for exposure monitoring and future studies examining impact characteristics and clinical outcomes for injury risk and cumulative head impact exposure.
