Chapter 113: You Have to Believe in Science, Hero (Fourth Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

"What the fuck is this bullshit suggestion?" Chen Yingying took the doctor's examination report and questioned the club's chief sports medicine doctor Bruckner opposite, along with the club's head coach Dalglish and the club's manager Niang. Road ().

This is the first time that two people have met since they fell out, which does not mean that they have shaken hands and made peace, but because what is happening now requires the two of them to face it together and discuss a solution ().

The matter has something to do with Chen Yingying.

This has to start with the large-scale medical examination organized by the club.

It was supposed to check if there was any hidden danger of heart disease among the players.

Unexpectedly, the heart disease was not detected, but the physical examination institution gave Chen Yingying a suggestion, and attached a long appendix to explain the importance and scientificity of this suggestion.

The advice first passed through the hands of the club's chief sports medicine doctor, Bruckner, who read it carefully before it was given to the club's head coaches, Dalglish and Chen Yingxing.

The advice itself is simple, just one sentence: "Advise the player to use his head as little as possible." ”

But such a simple sentence is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for both Chen Yingying and Dalglish.

The reason why Chen Yingying can score so much has a lot to do with his header being the first in the world, many times when people can't solve the problem with their feet, Chen Yingying can easily do it with his head. Especially in a league like the Premier League, which places a strong emphasis on aerial ball scramble, it is easy to see how important a header is.

Now he doesn't let Chen Yingying use his head to top the ball, or try to push it as little as possible...... Wouldn't that be equivalent to abolishing Chen Yingying's leg? Nearly a half of his goal tally has been scored with headers.

In other words, if he is not allowed to score with his head, his goals will be deducted by at least nearly half! What is this concept? This can turn a world-class shooter into a quasi-first-class scorer in an instant......

Of course, Chen Yingying couldn't accept this suggestion, so he simply ran to Bruckner.

The angry Chen Yingying faced the elegant medical doctor, naturally it was impossible to have a good face, he felt that this was a way to cut off people's money, and it was very insidious ().

"It's science, hero. You have to accept it. Bruckner pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly. In the face of Chen Yingying's foul language, he didn't feel annoyed.

"Bullshit science!" Chen Yingying took a sip. "Is there anything wrong with my header? Why do you want me to not be able to use the header?! ”

"The above advice is to have as few ...... as possible"

"What's the difference between that and not having a header? You'd be happier if I didn't have to head the ball anymore! ”

Bruckner spread his hands: "It's for your health, hero. ”

"Healthy? Hahaha! As soon as he heard this, Chen Yingying smiled. If you look at the physical examination report this time, who is the healthiest person in the team? Who is the strongest person? It's me! Chen Yingying poked his heart with his thumb, and his expression and tone were very proud and proud.

At this time Dalglish spoke: "Okay, hero, calm down. Let's hear the doctor explain. ”

With that, he smiled at Bruckner and nodded, "Let's begin, Doctor." ”

Bruckner didn't read the recommendations and appendices after reading Chen Yingying's medical report, because these things were in his head, and he opened his mouth to come.

"Six years ago, a man named Rhodes. Makham's Australian neuropsychiatrist, after extensive data research and experimental research, found that the head ball can indeed cause cumulative and long-term brain damage. Dr. Mark Hamm had already urged FIFA to remove the header ...... from the tournament last year."

After hearing that a doctor had called on FIFA to cancel the header in the game, Chen Yingying couldn't help but let out a sneer. It's the funniest joke he's ever heard, headers are an integral part of football, and football without headers is ...... Is that still called football?!

Bruckner glanced at him, and Chen Yingying pouted: "Okay, you continue, doctor......"

Bruckner then went on to elaborate on the issue: "A medical study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association also showed that a soccer player's ability to plan with a concussion from a repetitive header would impair memory and planning (). In addition, a report on soccer at the Heildrop Santa Anna Hospital in the Netherlands also shows that 39 percent of soccer players show functional impairment in tests that determine planning ability, while minor chronic brain injuries are also related to heading in soccer matches, and that 27 percent of players have experienced one concussion in their careers, and another 23 percent have suffered two to five concussions. A 30-year follow-up study by a European medical institute has shown that soccer players are five times more likely to suffer from brain diseases – such as Alzheimer's disease – after retirement. ”

Chen Yingying grinned, unconcerned about what Bruckner said. Instead, the expressions on Dalglish and Niang's faces became more and more solemn.

"Recently there was a two-year study of high school football teams. The study showed that concussions were most likely caused by multiple headers that accumulated over time, rather than just one blow to the head. Purdue's research institute has studied Jefferson High School football players for two seasons, with 21 players completing the study in the first season and 24 completing the study in the second season, including 16 repeat players. In each season and at the end of the season, the pressure sensor data from each team member's helmet was compared with previous brain imaging scans and cognitive tests, and the most important hint of the new findings was that the concussion was not the result of a single blow, but the result of the total number of blows that occurred throughout the season. A blow to a concussion, as it turns out, is like a bundle of straw falling on the back of a camel, it seems insignificant, doesn't it? ”

Chen Yingying shrugged, his face still full of nonchalance.

"But it adds up to a terrible one. It's complicated, and I don't think you might know what it means even if I did. In a nutshell, they did an experiment to measure how active a player's brain is when faced with a particular task. With MRI functional imaging technology, you can clearly see the active scene of the brain. The scan revealed that there was a part of the brain that was most active for a particular task. They observed that changes in brain activity implied that a player had to use a different strategy to complete the task, and that this was most likely due to a decrease in functional intensity...... For example, when you need to pick up this glass of water...... "Bruckner grabbed the cup at hand ().

"When you're in a normal state, it's easy to pick up this cup. But if you have a problem with your brain, maybe your body can't judge how hard to pick up the glass, maybe you pick it up and the cup will fall back down because of too little force. This is a sign that your brain is weakening in strength. ”

"Of course I can grab this cup very easily!" After Chen Yingying finished speaking, he grabbed the water cup that Bruckner had just put down.

"Yes, of course you can. In fact, concussion is a medical term, and it does not necessarily mean that a concussion is a symptom. The effect of the header on you is subtle. A lot of clinicians think that if you don't have symptoms of a concussion, you don't have a problem, however, despite the absence of symptoms, we have found that there are actually many variations. Bruckner replied to Chen's words and continued. The scans showed that the level of altered brain activity was significantly correlated with the number and distribution of impacts suffered by the athletes, with no change in function but a change in brain activity, suggesting that certain areas were no longer used to complete tasks. So while the tiny, hard-to-detect damage cannot be shown as a concussion, the effects on the brain may last for the rest of your life. This is still circumstantial evidence, but it suggests that as a result of all impacts, it was a concussion or a change in the brain. The number of head hits in the study varied from 200 to 1,900 in a season, with two of them having more than 1,800 hits, and the sensors on the helmets showed data on the impact to the brain ranging from 20 gauss units to more than 100 gaussian units, with the most severe blows being nearly 300 gaussian units. A player experiences an impact of about twenty gauss units with a single overhead ball. According to statistics, the average number of headers a footballer has in a match is 8.5 times. But you've definitely had a lot more headers than that, and you're sometimes in a completely hard-hitting style of attack, and you seem keen to use your body to get the better of the opposition......"

Chen Yingying shrugged: "This is the way men compete. ”

"But it's not wise at all." Bruckner shook his head.

"Hey!" Chen Yingying rolled his eyes.

"This kind of frequent head-to-head is a strain on your brain, although every header and duel won't cause any fatal damage to your brain. Quantitative change can cause qualitative change, and tests have shown that there is a definite progressive increase in damage before the concussion occurs, so this advice is correct and you should abide by it, hero. Don't laugh at the suggestion to let football cancel the header, hero. It is important to note that in a 2003 FIFA memorandum to member associations, referees should not prohibit players from taking measures to protect themselves and not harm others. You should know what Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech looks like, right? ”

Chen Yingying was silent, but it could be seen that he was still very unconvinced.

He didn't know anything about the scientific experiments that the MD had listed, and even though the MD had tried to describe the very technical terms in plain language, he still didn't understand them. He only knew that what he was best at was his header, and the header didn't make him feel anything uncomfortable.

He was adamant that he had a concussion, and that he might even have it.

Bruckner seemed to know that he would not be able to convince this stubborn man for a while, so he changed the object of persuasion to the manager of the club and the head coach of the team.

"You two should know about Dean. Richards (den_rird) right? ”

Dalglish's face changed by this question, and Niang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"He died a year ago at the age of thirty-six."

The reaction of the two people piqued Chen Yingying's curiosity, he didn't know who Dean was. Richards, but he really wanted to hear it now.

But Bruckner didn't talk about it!

Chen Yingying had no choice but to ask, "Who is that?" ”

Dalglish seemed to be lost in thought, indifferent to Chen's questioning. Nyon, who was next to him, explained to him: "Dean. Richards, a former member of England's under-21 national team as a centre-back, moved to Tottenham in 2001 for £8.1 million to replace the departing Campbell, a record transfer fee for Tottenham at the time. However, joining Tottenham was not missing, and Richards was forced to retire due to a head illness. He often reports that he feels dizzy on the court, which interferes with his normal play. As a centre-back, Richards was a regular clearer with headers, and a year before he retired, he began a long period of recuperation after a brain abnormality was detected during a hospital scan. In the end, although the doctors confirmed that it was not a malignant tumor, the brain disease prevented him from continuing to play, otherwise it would have had a very bad impact on his health, so he was forced to retire. And many people blame Richards' premature retirement as a header, which caused serious brain damage. ”

Niang simply explained the reason for Richards' retirement to Chen Yingying, and finally added: "He died last year because of a brain disease......

Hearing this living and bloody example, Chen Yingying was silent.

Bruckner saw that Chen Yingying was silent, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "In fact, in football circles, it is not uncommon for players to retire or die due to brain diseases. In 2005, the 57-year-old Emlyn, a former England captain of the national team. Hughes died of brain cancer. And in January 2002, Engage's football legend and famous striker Jeff. Astor died at the age of 59, and the coroner confirmed that he suffered brain damage from frequent overhead balls during his long career. I don't think you want to live to be sixty, hero? ”

"Uh......" Chen Yingying is no longer dead, and the duck's mouth is hard. Of course, he didn't want to live to be in his fifties and burp because of a brain disease......

"Because of the brain injury, many medical practitioners have suggested that FIFA should do away with headers or have players wear helmets as in rugby matches in order to minimise the damage to the brains caused by headers. However, many football pundits strongly oppose such a proposal, arguing that the abolition of headers will deprive players of important means of scoring goals, and make the number of goals scored in the game fall and affect the spectacle of the game. And wearing a helmet makes the game of football funny and nondescript. Of course, I understand that, because I'm a fan myself, and if I were to see twenty-two people with helmets running around the pitch, I'd find it weird...... We can't change the situation, but I think we can do something about your health. ”

The silent Chen Yingying suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and asked, "This physical examination report suddenly recommends that I use the head ball as little as possible, does it mean that my brain has been irreversibly damaged?" Even if it's tiny? ”

When he asked the question, even Dalglish, who had been wandering up before, looked up again and looked at him in surprise.

It must be said that asking this question made Chen Yingying very nervous, he was afraid that if he got a positive answer, would it mean that he would definitely become a dementia in the future, or...... Dying prematurely because of brain damage?

Fortunately, this time Bruckner shook his head very resolutely and quickly: "No, your body is indeed better than everyone else, so there is no problem with this at the moment." But if you keep playing like that, hero, with the level of your reliance on headers in the game, I can guarantee you will qualify for this situation. You know you're only twenty-three years old, and you still have a long career ahead of you. Extrapolating from your physicality, I think you might be able to kick until you're forty. After all these years, if you insist on hitting the ball with your head, can you imagine how many times you will suffer repeated blows? And how much damage can those impacts do to your brain? What terrible numbers does this damage add up to in the end? The reason why this report recommends you alone is because your headers are just too frequent. I think you can probably get more than 2,200 headers in a season...... This is a very scary statistic. It's not just the headers, it's the head when you're fighting for the ball up front, when you're passing. For your own health, you really should seriously consider this advice, hero. ”

After hearing that there was no problem with his brain for the time being, Chen Yingying breathed a sigh of relief: "I will seriously consider it, but not now, doctor." I think I have something very important to do......"

His words were interrupted by Dalglish: "No, hero. The doctor is right, you have to seriously consider this advice now. ”

This time it was Chen Yingying's turn to be surprised.
