At the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment Winter Board Meeting last weekend, organization leaders considered and approved millions of dollars in research grants to advance the science of sports medicine and review the work done by the Multidisciplinary Concussion Task Force conference, according to a NOCSAE news release.
Since 2000, NOCSAE has devoted more than $2.5 million toward research in sports medicine. Previous projects have led to the development of performance and test standards for football helmets and facemasks, baseball and softball batters and catchers helmets, baseballs and softballs, ice hockey helmets, soccer shinguards, lacrosse helmets and facemasks and polo helmets.
