Abstract
The football field, an ideal setting for research in trauma by radiotelemetry, has allowed collection of data on man's response to impact. The physiologic response adds a new dimension to the measurement of impact tolerance. The present study has demonstrated the protective response of the athlete and explains how he is able to dissipate forty times more kinetic energy than his helmet is capable of absorbing.Keywords
