Abstract
Sixty-nine football players from six Norwegian First Division League Clubs underwent a neurologic and EEG examination to investigate the incidence of head inju ries. A significantly increased incidence of EEG disturb ances were found in the football players compared to matched controls. The disturbances were most pro nounced among the youngest players. The higher inci dence of EEG disturbances found in the football players is most likely due to neuronal damage caused by re peated minor head traumas.
