The effect of football (soccer) heading on gross and fine motor control in women by Jac L. Palmer, Bert Bond, Bert Bond, Alex Woodgates, Alex Woodgates, Jacob Jack, Jacob Jack, Oliver Smail, Oliver Smail, Ryan Baker, Genevieve Williams

“…However, significant alterations were observed in fine motor control in the tremor frequency (0–4 Hz band) of precision gripping, indicating a potential change in motor-cognitive function following the heading task.DiscussionThe findings suggest that exposure to the number and type of headers that might be performed over a typical football match does not impair standing balance, but it may affect fine motor control. …”
