  • Football Helmet Fitting
    PROPER FIT = PROPER PROTECTION The right football helmet is the first step in safety Designed to withstand repeat blows, the football helmet is a player’s first line of defense. An ill-fitting helmet puts the player at risk. It’s important to thoroughly read and follow the manufacturer’s fit guidelines. When in doubt, talk with your athletic trainer or equipment manager to ensure your player is properly protected. GETTING THE RIGHT FIT Measure the player’s head circumference 1 inch above the eyebrows and select the appropriate helmet size according to the helmet manufacturer. Make sure the air bladders are inflated. Place the helmet on the player’s head and check that: The helmet fits snugly around There aren’t any gaps between The helmet sits two finger The base of the the front, sides and crown of the cheek pads and face widths above the eyes skull is covered the player’s head The chin strap is snug against the chin, preventing the helmet from When pressing moving side to side down on the or up and down helmet, the player feels pressure on the crown of the head, not the brow. Pressure on the brow indicates the fit is wrong The helmet doesn’t twist—it only The face mask is securely attached, The ear holes align with the moves with the player’s head doesn’t block the player’s vision and is opening of the ear canal three finger widths away from the chin PLAYERS, REMEMBER … • Inspect your helmet before each use, checking for: • Multiple factors can impact the fit of a helmet, including (but • Proper fit not limited to): • Damage to the liner, shell or face mask • Air temperature • Loose hardware • Changes in altitude *Never wear a damaged or ill-fitting helmet • Hair length • Keep your chin strap locked at all times during play • Damage to air bladder valve Source: “Principles of Athletic Training: A Guide to Evidence-based Clinical Practice 16th edition”; Riddell Fitting Guide; Schutt Helmet Fitting Instructions; USA Football Infographic provided by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.

  • Varsity Football STAR Methodology
    Virginia Tech Helmet Lab 343 Kelly Hall 325 Stanger St Blacksburg, Virginia 24061 P: (540) 231-8254 [email protected] Varsity Football STAR Methodology Laboratory Tests A custom pendulum impactor was used to perform all impact tests (Figure 1) [1]. It was chosen for its increased repeatability and reproducibility compared to other impacting methods [2]. The pendulum arm is 190.5 cm long, has a total mass of 37 kg including a 15.5 kg impacting mass at the end, and has a moment of inertia of 72 kg∙m2 of which the impacting mass account for 78%. A nylon impactor face which impacts the helmets is 20.3 cm in diameter with a 12.7 cm radius of curvature to mimic the curved surface of a football helmet. The pendulum impacts a helmeted medium NOCSAE head custom fit to a Hybrid III neck. The head and neck are mounted to a 5- degree-of-freedom Biokinetics slide table with a 16 kg sliding mass. This setup allows for linear and rotational motion to be generated, and is representative of the head, neck and torso of a 50th percentile male. Test conditions include four locations (Table 1) and three velocities (3.1, 4.9, and 6.4 m/s). Helmets were tested with a facemask. Since multiple facemask choices exist for each helmet model, the lightest most common facemask was used and verified with the manufacturers. Helmet position on the headform was set with the NOCSAE nose gauge for a medium headform before each test. Each test configuration was repeated twice with two helmet model samples, totaling 48 tests per helmet model.

  • Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions
    Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions Copyright 2020 National Sporting Goods Association 1 Football Helmet Reconditioning In Unprecedented Conditions Background The COVID-19 pandemic upset the typical plans of being ready for football in the fall. There was some level of disruption from the NFL to the youngest ages. Some programs started their seasons around their normal time. Others put on hold until the winter or spring and there are some that were shut down entirely. The questions surrounding this unexpected situation led the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) and National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association (NAERA) to collaborate on a video “Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions.” In this video, NAERA Executive Director Tony Beam and NAERA President Bob Fawley share their expertise with NSGA Team Dealer Division and Communications Director Marty Maciaszek to provide some guidance to the reconditioning process during the COVID-19 pandemic where numerous high schools and colleges are planning to play in the spring of 2021. It is a resource tool for football coaches, athletic directors, school and program administrators, members of the sporting goods industry and the media. This document is a synopsis of the video that begins with introductions of Tony Beam and Bob Fawley and their background in the industry. The times listed are the points in the video where a particular topic or question is addressed. We hope you will refer to the video for more detail on those areas. Go to https://www.nsga.org/advocacy/covid-19-resource-page/covid-19-video-resources/ for the video. Copyright 2020 National Sporting Goods Association 2 Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions Video Synopsis 4:30 – How many helmets are reconditioned every year? Last year around 1.7 million helmets were reconditioned by 15 members licensed by NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) to recondition and recertify football and lacrosse helmets and sanitize sports equipment.

There exists an especially high amount of danger to each player's brain, created in part by gameplay, but also from the helmets worn by the athletes. Football helmet pads were comparatively investigated, in order to find a better alternative that can lower the amount of acceleration on the brain. A new pad system was introduced that allows for the force to be dissipated horizontally, through use of a dashpot-like center, also employing a foam shell to assist in the vertical energy dissipation. The pad currently used, along with the new dashpot system were further tested inside helmet shells on a head form drop test, and compared to the national standards that regulate athletic equipment.

  • Nfl Announces Winners of Headhealthtech Challenge Vi
    NFL ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF HEADHEALTHTECH CHALLENGE VI Two start-ups granted nearly a quarter million dollars to develop helmet protection technology Phoenix, AZ – March 26, 2019 – The National Football League (NFL) and Football Research, Inc. (FRI) today announced the winners of HeadHealthTECH Challenge VI. Windpact and Auxadyne will receive funding to advance their innovative technologies for use in football helmets. To-date, the TECH Challenges have awarded grants to help advance the development of 13 new technologies. Windpact, a Northern Virginia-based company, was awarded $148,820 to tailor their Crash Cloud® padding technology for use in Schutt’s AirXP Pro Q10 helmet. Windpact will partner on this project with Elemance to create virtual prototypes. Windpact was previously awarded funding as part of HeadHealthTECH Challenge II to develop the Crash Cloud®, a liner system intended to protect the head from impacts at a variety of speeds and angles. Although no helmet can entirely eliminate the risk of concussion, the padding system, which can be used in existing helmets to replace traditional foam pads, aims to address the wide range of impacts NFL players experience at different positions by absorbing and dispersing energy. Florida-based company Auxadyne was awarded $86,688 to advance its XPF material, the world’s only commercially available auxetic foam, an energy absorbing material that becomes more dense upon impact. The company will use their unique material to create a football helmet padding system that can reduce the impact to an athlete's head. “We are grateful to be a recipient of the HeadHealthTECH VI award and are excited to utilize the funding from the NFL to improve a helmet in collaboration with an industry leader in Schutt,” said SHAWN SPRINGS, CEO of Windpact.
