Epidemiology of Concussions Among United States High School Athletes in 20 Sports (2012, background): “Most studies investigating adolescent concussions have focused predominantly on football, with other collision sports such as lacrosse and ice hockey being relatively unstudied at the high school level.(8,12,15) Previous investigations involving a range of high school sports show that concussion rat”

Cumulative effects associated with recurrent concussion in collegiate football players: the NCAA Concussion Study. (2003, background): “Linebackers, offensive linemen, and defensive backs may also have an increased risk of concussive injury, which is consistent with previous findings and most often explained by the increased size and speed of players in these positions.(2,12)”
Association between Recurrent Concussion and Late-Life Cognitive Impairment in Retired Professional Football Players (2005, background): “Other recent peer-reviewed studies of recurrent concussion have identified an acute cumulative effect of concussion as measured by increased symptomatology or slowed recovery on symptom checklists and neuropsychological tests after subsequent injuries in high school and collegiate athletes (4, 10, 1”
The influence of impact location and angle on the dynamic impact response of a Hybrid III headform (2011, background): “Despite the introduction and constant development of headgear for impact and collision sports, the incidence of mTBI has not diminished [1–6], which may be due to the helmets’ limited ability to reduce angular accelerations [7].”
Acute effects and recovery time following concussion in collegiate football players: the NCAA Concussion Study. (2003, background): “Injury surveillance studies have reported that the average length of time players are withheld from competition after concussion in high school and collegiate football ranges from 3 to 8 days, depending on the grade of injury severity.(10,13) We previously found that the largest percentage of colleg”
