Heads up! companies don their thinking caps to improve football helmets. (Facility Focus).Helmet companies such as Schutt Sports, Riddell, Adams USA, and Bike (which was purchased by Adams in 2001) are doing their utmost to protect against mild head traumas. Over the past three decades, helmet-testing research has been conducted under the auspices of the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE NOCSAE National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment ), a non-profit organization A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. , However, due to limited scientific data, the standards do not address concussions. There seems to be a difference of opinion on the potential areas of concussions. Some companies believe that they occur below the jaw line. However, a two-year study by Ottawa-based Biokinetics and Associates Ltd., (partially funded by the NFL NFL abbr. National Football League NFL (US) n abbr (= National Football League) → Fußball-Nationalliga ) in cooperation with bioengineering bioengineering Application of engineering principles and equipment to biology and medicine. It includes the development and fabrication of life-support systems for underwater and space exploration, devices for medical treatment (see specialists from several universities, concluded that concussions are caused by hits to the upper jaw and side of the head. Using the football field as a laboratory, Biokinetics viewed multiple video recordings of head collisions in professional football players that were analyzed to determine the details of motion and contact. Twelve incidents were studied involving 24 players, of whom 10 were concussed. These head impacts were replicated in the test lab using instrumented, helmeted crash-test dummies. The impact forces to each head were measured and the outcome presented in the form of an index on impact severity. The bottom line is: What may cause a concussion with one player may not necessarily do so with another. According to according to prep. 1.

Schutt president Julie Nimmons, a helmet is supposed to fit snugly--but not overly snug. Whenever you see a player grabbing his facemask face·mask n.

Customized, if you will. Although helmet shells appear to be the major focus in the purchase of a helmet, you cannot overlook the significance of the helmet's infrastructure.

Eva - A toy ALGOL-like language used in "Formal Specification of Programming Languages: A Panoramic Primer", F.G. liners, and cell pads all help cushion the blows. You can look at it much as you would the peace of mind afforded by the airbag in an automobile. Other features such as jaw pads, faceguard straps, and chin straps work in conjunction with interior liners to keep the helmet secure. "We offer a lot of options when it comes to internal components," says Julie Nimmons, a former Chairperson for the SGMA SGMA Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association SGMA Southern Gospel Music Association SGMA Sierpinski Gasket Monopole Antenna . "All of these options provide a customized fit. Will all of this eliminate the potential for concussions? No, there is always a potential." Schutt prides itself on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to safety for its entire line, including the latest Air Varsity Commander. From its GE Lexan polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. alloy shell, to its Air liner technology, to its tapered front sizers, to its facemasks (titanium, stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. , and carbon steel), Schutt is setting the standard in helmet protection--combining aesthetics with safeguards. Helmet design is also helping to alleviate, if not shield, jarring blows. Riddell's Revolution, which is larger than conventional helmets and extends further along the jaw line, has a Kra-Lite II Polycarbonate Lexan shell material that makes it lighter without sacrificing protective qualities. A TruCurve shell extends into the mandible mandible /man·di·ble/ (man´di-b'l) the horseshoe-shaped bone forming the lower jaw, articulating with the skull at the temporomandibular joint.mandib´ular man·di·ble n. area and has been computer designed around the head's anatomical center of gravity. The rounded Isolator Faceguard System is designed to reduce jarring from low-level impacts. Bill Sherman, Riddell president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , was reported as saying that the company started designing the Revolution based on the results of Biokinetics' research, but wanted to take it a step further "to improve styling and make it look like the next generation of helmets."

The company has also introduced what it calls SSS SSS abbr. sick sinus syndrome (Skeletal Sub Structure), which is basically a stiff skeleton that helps support the shell construction while assisting in attenuating impacts. Schutt, on the other hand, has not changed the shape of its helmets in 15 years. We've changed some padding inside the helmet," Nimmons says. "We've changed the air liner. We've changed other things. But the helmet shell has stood the test of time. You've got to make a product that is going to be affordable and accessible to everyone." 2003 FOOTBALL BUYER'S GUIDE & DIRECTOR APPAREL AIS 2202 Anderson St. Vernon, CA 90058 Tel: 800/566-2733 Fax: 323/582-2831 www.aisuniforms.com Don Alleson Athletic 2921 Brighton Henrietta T.L.
