Biomechanical performances of old-fashioned leather and modern football helmets - Tue, 07 May 2013
( Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group ) Researchers at the Center for Injury Biomechanics at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia compared the relative safety afforded by two 1930-vintage leather football helmets and 10 modern football helmets during impacts to players' heads. These researchers found that all 10 modern helmets provided significantly more protection than leather helmets ...
Biomechanical performances of old-fashioned leather and modern football helmets compared - Tue, 07 May 2013
Researchers have compared the relative safety afforded by two 1930-vintage leather football helmets and 10 modern football helmets during impacts to players' heads. These researchers found that all 10 modern helmets provided significantly more protection than leather helmets used in the first half of the twentieth century, and demonstrated that differences also exist between modern helmets.

Riding Technique Affects Horse Force - Mon, 13 May 2013
It's tough to have a job where the boss is always riding you. That's literally the case with a horse. Now a study finds that stress experienced by the equine spine can vary drastically with the style and skill of the rider. The findings are trotted out in the Journal of Experimental Biology. [Patricia de Cocq et al., Modelling biomechanical requirements of a rider for different horse-riding ...
