Quote:o protect players, sports equipment companies are constantly improving helmets. A new product similar to the padded cover Camarillo used to wear is on the market now; called the Guardian Cap, it's in vogue from high school fields to pro stadiums. In 2022, the National Football League began requiring players of certain positions to wear the new cap during training camp practices.

Does it help? According to Camarillo and his colleagues' research, published in Annals of Biomedical Engineering on March 14, if it provides a benefit, it's probably not substantial for the majority of hits players sustain.

"We need to do more and larger studies to see if the Guardian Cap has any impact," said Camarillo, the senior author of the study. "But I don't think it'll make a big difference for the kind of blows that don't lead to concussion but happen frequently on the field."
