A new study published in EBioMedicine has revealed that heading a football can significantly affect a players brain function and memory up to a day.

Researchers at Scotland’s Stirling University said memory performance was reduced by between 41 percent to 67 percent following heading practice, with the effect wearing off after 24 hours.

The researchers fired footballs from a machine designed to replicate a corner kick power and asked a group of players to head the ball 20 times.
