Abstrakt: The article focuses on a study investigating the extent of linear head accelerations resulting from collegiate football impacts. The method involves the use of a Head Impact Telemetry. Spring-mounted accelerometers keep constant contact with the head to ensure measurements are accurate. Results show that the error in the peak linear accelerations is within reasonable experimental error.
