Implication

Prospective study reveals subtle fine motor and postural control declines from soccer heading in female players, indicating heading exposure may specifically impair sensorimotor function.

Key Points

Subtle declines in fine motor control and postural control emerge from repetitive head impacts, whereas cognitive function and health remain unchanged.
Significant negative effects appeared in fine motor control with p = 0.001, while soccer heading exposure also correlated with adverse alterations in postural control (p = 0.002).
Prospective evaluation using video analysis tracked female soccer players across 1.5 years, highlighting the need to monitor long-term sensorimotor performances in larger cohorts.
