Soccer is currently facing a significant crisis related to brain damage caused by headers. Extensive medical studies have shown that soccer players face the following risks: five times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, three times the risk of motor neuron disease and twice the likelihood of Parkinson’s disease. This situation has led to drastic measures in several countries: the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland and Argentina have already banned headers in minors. This is why we have developed Proteckthor B1, a headband that absorbs the impact of the ball, preventing the full energy of the impact from reaching the brain. In addition, it does not prevent the speed of the shot from changing, so it does not affect sporting performance as there is no loss of shooting power.
