AmbaCare Solutions noted with interest today that professional footballers in Scotland are to be banned from heading the ball in training the day before and the day after a game. Clubs have also been advised to limit exercises that involve repetitive heading in training to one session per week. The new guidelines have been put in place following research from Glasgow University which has shown that former footballers are three-and-a-half times more likely to die from brain disease than people in the same age range in the general population. This has been widely reported today in the media including BBC Radio 4, BBC News online and the Guardian.
