A concussion is a injury to the brain the reason I pick this topic is because I had a concussion last season of football, and I want to know if a concussion affects more than just the brain, and what happens over time.

The purpose of the study is to bring awareness about the seriousness of concussion injuries. Examining the severity of high school athletes who suffered sport related concussions is critical to determine the short term/long term damaging effects. When athletes’ concussions go undiagnosed, the risk of further damages increases since they are not fully recovered. This means that athletes will return to participation unknowingly since the injury goes undetected. In addition, when parents, coaches, doctors, and athletes are aware about the dangers of concussions, they can have a conversation and discuss the best options to ensure the safety of athletes. This means that injured athletes will not be allowed to participate under any

Week 4 will bring us a Thursday Night Football game between AFC North rivals the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens have got off to a rocky start so far in 2015 with a 0-3 record, however, they’ll look to take advantage of a short-handed Steelers squad. Pittsburgh has had a solid start to their season, but they’ll be playing without longtime field general Ben Roethlisberger. This will be a pivotal game for Joe Flacco and the Ravens, so there should be some decent fantasy numbers coming from Baltimore.

This evidence based practice article explores the persistent concussive symptoms (symptoms lasting more than 90 days post-injury) in students from middle school, high school, and college that obtain many sport-related concussions. The studies by Harmon et al (2013) and Doolan, Day, Maerlender, Goforth & Brolinson (2012), found that just in the United states alone, there are over a million concussions every year and there are at least 50% of the concussions that are not reported. One that acquires a concussion will go through neurocognitive testing, see a physician, and go through screenings and more. Although these methods for management are being done to treat a concussion, there is not any evidence based practice to say that those methods are actually working.

There were 24 cases a clients that were referred the Clinic at the University of Oregon for persistent concussive symptoms related to a sports injury. There were 14 women and 10

I believe sports should become more informed when dealing with head trauma that results from contact sports. Certain guidelines and classes for athletes should be created to inform athletes about this epidemic. These diseases are not a joking matter and should be dealt with immediately. People are dying due to these diseases because they are unaware of the dangers and symptoms. The NFL, MLB, and association football or soccer are doing very little to protect the athletes from getting these head injuries. Guidelines and rules need to be made in order to protect the players from getting such diseases from head trauma. What is in action to prevent these injuries from happening? How much longer do athletes have to go through this epidemic of head

Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
