EKG shoulder pads are essential in lacrosse to enhance player safety and reduce the risk of commotio cordis, a potentially fatal condition caused by chest impacts that disrupt heart rhythm. USA Lacrosse and other governing bodies require that all players wear chest protection, meeting the NOCSAE ND200 standard, specifically designed for superior impact protection.
These updated pads feature extra padding over the heart area to effectively disperse force and minimize the risk of serious cardiac events.
