Nike Shell TechYouth Football Concussion Prevention

Page 47: Lauren Sebastian
Page 48: Lauren Sebastian

Current adult and youth football protective gear is essentially the same, despite key differences in their anatomy.

These are not the same.

Can redesigning their gear help reduce the risk of concussion in youth players?

Page 49: Lauren Sebastian
Page 50: Lauren Sebastian

Talked to local youth football coaches, athletic trainers, and attended youth football games to gain more insight into the needs of youth players.

Learning From the Pros

Research for DaysAfter doing extensive primary and secondary research I found that the solution wasn’t in the helmet, but in the neck.

Page 53: Lauren Sebastian
Page 54: Lauren Sebastian

At age 12, a youth’s head is 95% that of an adults, while their neck is only 85%. Also, their spine is still developing and mostly consists of cartilidge, causing it to be more flexible.

Stabalize the neck.

Can stabilizing or strengthening a youth’s neck help decrease their risk of concussion?
