A quantitative estimate of exposure to repeated sub-concussive head impacts would provide an opportunity to investigate possible exposure-response relationships. However, it is unclear how to formulate an appropriate exposure metric within the context of epidemiological studies. We have carried out a systematic review of the scientific literature to identify the factors that determine the magnitude of head impact acceleration during experiments and from observations during playing or training for soccer, up to the end of November 2021. Data were extracted from 33 experimental and 27 observational studies from male and female amateur players including both adults and children. There was a high correlation between peak linear and angular accelerations in the observational studies (p &lt; 0.001) although the correlation was lower for the experimental data. We chose to rely on an analysis of maximum or peak linear acceleration for this review. Differences in measurement methodology were identified as important determinants of measured acceleration, and we concluded that only data from accelerometers fixed to the head provided reliable information about the magnitude of head acceleration from soccer-related impacts. Exposures differed between men and women and between children and adults, with women on average experiencing higher acceleration but less frequent impacts. Playing position appears to have some influence on the number of heading impacts but less so on the magnitude of the head acceleration. Head-to-head collisions result in high levels of exposure and thus probably risk causing a concussion. We concluded, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that estimates of the cumulative number of heading impacts over a playing career should be used as the main exposure metric in epidemiological studies of professional players.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19095488","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]],"date-time":"2022-05-01T06:23:08Z","timestamp":1651386188000},"page":"5488","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["A Systematic Review of Head Impacts and Acceleration Associated with Soccer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7708-3017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Basinas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Medicine, Research Avenue North, Edinburgh EH14 4AP, UK"},{"name":"Division of Population Health, Health Services Research & Primary Care, Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0953-8336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damien M.","family":"McElvenny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Medicine, Research Avenue North, Edinburgh EH14 4AP, UK"},{"name":"Division of Population Health, Health Services Research & Primary Care, Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Pearce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1268-8629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentina","family":"Gallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Frysl\u00e2n, University of Groningen, 8911 CE Leeuwarden, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8901-6890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John W.","family":"Cherrie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Occupational Medicine, Research Avenue North, Edinburgh EH14 4AP, UK"},{"name":"Institute of Biological Chemistry, Biophysics and Bioengineering, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1102","DOI":"10.1249\/MSS.0b013e3182444d7d","article-title":"Real-Time Head Acceleration Measurement in Girls\u2019 Youth Soccer","volume":"44","author":"Hanlon","year":"2012","journal-title":"Med.
