Traumatic Brain Injury Among American Youth Athletes

In June 2012, 4,000 former NFL players filed suit against NFL. A lawsuit was brought on as NFL was ignored in concussion problems. NFL does not have a system dedicated to concussion. The players discussed that they do not consider what kind of repeated concussion is brought to the brain and even head to head punishment. On August 29, 2013, NFL reached a settlement of $ 7.6 million with former players. Despite this solution, concussion is still a common problem in today's game.

Concussion is a general injury of athletes all over the world. Concussion is a serious injury and prevention and attention should be paid. "Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that can cause long-term brain damage and can degrade normal function" (Boriboon). Concussions mainly occur in physical contact movements. Collisions occur frequently and are not always related to other players at all times. - Over the past 100 years, university sports has been controversial about how to deal with them, ie business opportunities or educational backgrounds. Various reforms began and scholars and researchers proposed a variety of models to explain how to cope with university sports and sports people. These models are designed to understand and guide the need for balanced education and commercial sports.

In the United States, 1.6 million to 3.8 million people suffer from traumatic brain injury every year. Types of traumatic brain injury include concussion, diffuse brain injury, secondary impulse syndrome, subdural hematoma, and epidural hematoma. Concussions rarely cause death, but they may be the starting point for other deadly brain injuries. Athletes under the age of 15 occupy the majority of traumatic brain injuries. Furthermore, in each age group men showed a higher proportion of traumatic brain injury than females.
