Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of lifelong disability and death worldwide. Sport-related traumatic brain injury is an important public health concern. The purpose of this review was to highlight the importance of sport-related concussions. Concussion refers to a transient alteration in consciousness induced by external biomechanical forces transmitted directly or indirectly to the brain. It is a common, although most likely underreported, condition. Contact sports such as American football, rugb… Show more

“…An SRC is defined as "a traumatic brain injury induced by biomechanical forces" (McCrory et al, 2017). American football has the highest reported number of SRCs compared to other sports (Daneshvar et al, 2011;Ianof et al, 2014;. Over 600 concussions were reported in collegiate football over a four-year period , and more than 140 concussions are reported annually in professional football (Casson et al, 2010).…”

“…1,2 A concussion is the biomechanically induced alteration in brain function following indirect or direct traumatic forces. [3][4][5] Although over 90% of high school athletes with SRC return to baseline within one week following injury, many athletes experience persistent symptoms and are later diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome (PCS). 6,7 PCS is defined as the abnormal persistence of ongoing concussion symptoms, with significant variation in diagnostic criteria.…”

“…A concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a short-lived functional neurological impairment caused by a blow to the head or by a force transmitted to the head 1 . Participation in sports is a risk factor for sustaining multiple concussions 6 , with some sports presenting a greater risk than others 7 , 8 . The possible acute symptoms of concussion can include headaches, emotionality, loss of consciousness, amnesia, problems with balance, and sleep/wake disturbance 4 , 5 .…”
