Longitudinal cohort study explores heading exposure effects on neurocognitive and vestibular performance, indicating potential risks.

Neurocognitive scores and sway velocity improved significantly in both soccer players and controls during each season.
Increased headers played in duels and from long distances correlated with reduced psychomotor speed improvement over two seasons.
Heading exposure was documented via videotaping soccer training and matches to analyze individual heading frequency.
Potential high-impact headers appeared more significant than total heading exposure concerning neurocognitive development.

Reeschke et al. (2025) studied this question.
