Research has shown that soccer players are 50% more likely to develop dementia a year

According to the researchers, it is now certain that the title can have negative consequences for brain health. Especially at a young age, when the brain is still developing, it is unwise to head the ball regularly.

The British Football Association wants to ban the heads of children under the age of 12. But there are also organizations calling for a complete ban on the head. No decisions have been taken on this yet.

The study also showed a positive result. Soccer players are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. This is a neurodegenerative disease in which certain brain cells die. As a result, people with Parkinson’s disease move with difficulty and often experience tremors.
