A new, non-helmet based device which aims to mitigate the threat of concussions and head trauma is spreading its investigatory studies into a second sport.
In 2015, the Connecticut company Q30 Sports Science funded a study executed by Cincinnati Children’s Sports Medicine Research, which tracked football players at Cincinnati powers St. Xavier and Archbishop Moeller. Specifically, the 32-player St. Xavier roster spent the season wearing Q30’s Q-Collar. Archbishop Moeller players did not. The results were statistically significant, finding that St. Xavier showed far less “brain slosh,” according to Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO and published in a study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
