Introduction Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a pressing issue in Para sport, yet biomechanical mechanisms remain poorly understood. Athletes with visual impairment face elevated risks due to sport-specific demands, such as frequent collisions in blind football. This pilot study examined head acceleration responses in blind football players compared with non-disabled football players, and between anticipated and unanticipated conditions in blind football.Materials and Methods Ten football players (five blind football, five non-disabled; 80% female) were tested using a validated laboratory apparatus applying controlled perturbations in flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. Peak linear head acceleration (LHA) and rotational head acceleration (RHA) were captured with 3D motion analysis. Between-group differences were evaluated using Welch’s t-tests; within-group differences with paired t-tests.Results Blind football players exhibited greater RHA during rotation trials compared with non-disabled players (anticipated: 44.8 vs. 38.1 rad/s 2, p=0.123; unanticipated: 48.0 vs. 40.9 rad/s2, p=0.060). Within the blind football group, unanticipated perturbations produced higher LHA than anticipated across three of four directions, with significant differences in flexion (0.24 vs. 0.21 g; p=0.002) and lateral flexion (0.25 vs. 0.21 g; p=0.001). RHA followed the same pattern, with unanticipated trials yielding higher values than anticipated in all directions, most notably during rotation (48.0 vs. 44.8 rad/s2).Conclusion Blind football players exhibited higher rotational accelerations than non-disabled players, and greater head accelerations during unanticipated compared with anticipated conditions. These findings suggest that both visual impairment and anticipatory control influence head kinematics, underscoring the need for larger studies to guide SRC prevention in Para sport.
