Illustration showing position of the brain and skull within an American football helmet. Repetitive blows to the head and concussions caused by contact sports such as American football lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive condition that can cause memory loss, erratic behaviour, depression and tremors. Symptoms can start in early adulthood. Helmets do not protect against this damage. | |
