Brain-scanning technology is being used in the hope of finding ways to make contact sports safer.
Three rugby union clubs in England are to begin trialling scanning technology to monitor players' brain health.
Their intention is to have standard UK-wide rules in place for all contact sports for men, women and children, to be published later this year. This would standardise procedures, including the length of recovery time for players with head injuries. reported that the risk of sport-related concussion in adolescent girls playing football was nearly twice as higher as among adolescent boys.Mr Geller says new guidelines are needed at every level of sport: "The speed [and] the strength of these players is increasing all of the time, and that can only lead to more injury unless we know how to deal with it.
Fellow World Cup colleague Ben Kay, along with other former players, has regular scans as part of the PREVENT study, led by the University of Edinburgh.
