This allows trainers to establish personalized training programs for players that can help minimize injuries, as opposed to simply guessing how far along a player is in the concussion protocol. kboakye_2021 https://padlet.com/kboakye_2021/17tbvdecjiz4/wish/187172430 2017-09-13 13:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kboakye_2021/17tbvdecjiz4/wish/187172430 kboakye_2021 https://padlet.com/kboakye_2021/17tbvdecjiz4/wish/187175267 There are even smart socks that use textile pressure sensors to evaluate the likelihood of a running injury.

High-Tech Helmets

Even wearing helmets, football players are still sustaining head injuries. The Shock Bonnet has been produced by a company called Xenith to give players more protection during the toughest games. The Shock bonnet does not use foam to protect from impacts. Instead, it employs shock absorbers that release air to help reduce the quick movement of the head during an impact. The technology is similar to that of car airbags, only inside of a helmet.

A high-tech mouthguard called FITGuard has been created that uses sensors to let an athlete know if it may be time to take a break. The sensors alert the player when a serious but invisible injury has been suffered during a game, since most serious concussions happen without the player even knowing. When a devastating blow occurs, an LED light turns red, while a medium-degree impact lights up blue. The displays are bright enough for coaches to see them, along with other players, team doctors or parents. After the impact, data is analyzed and downloaded to an app to add more information about the impact for future reference.

The Spanish midfielder has shown his skills and prowess on the pitch, but he's also showed a number of injuries, with 14 separate cases in the last five seasons. What's more, there's been some key injuries in there too, with Fabregas spending more than three weeks out of action on 10 of those 14 occasions.

I mean, it wasn't his fault that Liverpool decided to pay far too much for him one transfer window and thus increase the expectations on him tenfold.


And it's not really his fault that his ankles, knees and hamstrings all decided to give up on him around the time that he made his move to Anfield.


He's just injury-prone, and he's been a huge transfer flop as a result.

Muscular problems, knee injuries and several groin strains continued to plague Owen right as he seemed to have made it to the top in world football—bringing about his fall from Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and last of all at Stoke City.


He was just too injury-prone, and it cost him completely living up to his potential.
