Background/aim To assess the impact energy attenuation performance of a range of headguards for combat sports. Methods Seven headguards worn during combat sport training or competition, including two Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA)-approved boxing models, were tested using drop tests. An International Organization for Standardization (ISO) rigid headform was used with a 5.6 kg drop assembly mass. Tests were conducted against a flat rigid anvil both with and without a boxing…

Research does not sufficiently support the statement that boxing without protective headgear is safer than boxing with a headguard, and AIBA’s decision to remove the headguard has to be seen with caution and injury rates among (male) boxers should be continuously evaluated.
