Unreported Concussions Sustained by Athletes

In this study, athletes scored between 20 and 34. Higher scores indicate more knowledge about concussion. Total athlete's overall score for concussion ranged from 40 to 98. Higher scores indicate that athletes have a better attitude towards reporting events like concussion. A total of 182 athletes (53.3%) remembered at least one concussion or concussion event. Of the 182 people, only 31 (16.9%) responded to coaches or medical professionals that they did not report all shocks they had experienced.

More than 400,000 concussions occur each year in high school sports and many athletes, coaches and parents are not reported as they do not completely understand what concussion is or what happens. Children and adolescents have a high risk of concussion due to brain development and take time to recover from concussion (27). Football accounted for the largest number of concussion diagnoses, accounting for 27.1% of all football injured who were diagnosed in the game, and 22.9% of all injured persons actually diagnosed. Football is not the only one with a high rate of concussion. In this sport, observing all the injured, women's football and basketball show the highest concussion rate (4). The influence of women's football and basketball accounted for 34.5% and 25.6% of all injuries in these sports, concussion occupied 18.9% and 8.8% of male football and basketball injury (4).

Despite the growing awareness of the risk of concussion and the awareness of the efforts to educate and educate people about how to identify and treat head injuries, an estimated 50% to 70% of concussion is reported Not. Some athletes and coaches do not always recognize signs of concussion, but the bigger concern is physical thinking and it becomes a sharp face when you exit the game. Mr. Dix challenged this point and attempted to teach athletes about the severity of concussion but that not only allowed athletes to participate in sports within a few weeks but also more than a few months Difficult. But consciousness depends on school's economic resources

Athletes do not always know when they will be discussed: the truth. Athletes do not always admit that they suffered concussion. Consciously, athletes may underestimate their symptoms, reduce the severity of injury, and / or try to work through pain. Unconsciously, they know how to identify subtle symptoms, some previous concussion they actually have (eg "Bell Rung"), or even fear of being removed from long-term games It may not be there. If the symptoms last but not so strong, it is safe for the child to return to the game: myth. Experts from around the world agree that athletes are not allowed to resume physical activity until they are completely asymptomatic (no symptoms). After concussion, the brain needs rest and time for healing, and it is subject to the ups and downs of feelings that express physical activity (movement), cognitive movement (classroom), and behavior pattern of youth (life) It does not happen.
