Scientists have found out that head blows during the game of football are much more seriously affecting the health of women than men. The risk of complications for them is much higher than in the case of the stronger sex.

According to the journal Radiology, physicians studied changes in the structure of the brain of women and men affected by concussions.

The study showed that football players often had irregularities in the structure of the brain than football players. On average, the amount of damaged white matter in women was about five times higher than that of men.

The high vulnerability of women to shocks can be caused by differences in the strength of the neck or in the work of genes. At the same time, there is no one-to-one relationship between concussions and mental abilities of players. However, such injuries are fraught with severe headaches.
