While they wear protective pads and helmets, their bodies still experience large decelerations and forces. In fact, some of the collisions between players, or between a player and the ground, are comparable to what a person might endure in an automobile accident. In 2017, a large study found that 110 out of 111 deceased NFL players had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disorder associated with repetitive head trauma (see photo). Other studies have linked CTE to higher rates of early onset dementia and memory loss. Consider an NFL player running at 3.92 m/s. During a collision and tackle, his head is brought to a stop in a distance of 0.125 m.
