THURSDAY, May 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The rate of concussions in U.S.
high school athletes more than doubled between 2005 and 2012, new research
shows.
.
The trend probably reflects an increased awareness and more legislation
governing concussions in student athletes, and not more danger in sports,
the study authors noted.
.
"The bottom line is that rates have gone up," said lead researcher Dr.
Joseph Rosenthal, an assistant professor of physical medicine and
rehabilitation at Ohio State University. "We don't know the exact reason.
This was an observational study, so I can't say for sure, but I believe
what is explaining the increase is the increased awareness, not that
sports are more dangerous. It's just that the concussions are being
recognized more, which is good news."
.
The study was published recently in The American Journal of Sports
Medicine.

The researchers analyzed data from a sample of 100 U.S. high schools that
have one or more certified athletic trainers on staff.

From 2005 through 2012, just over 4,000 concussions occurred in seven
sports. These included football, soccer, volleyball, basketball,
wrestling, baseball and softball.
.
Five of those sports had increases that were statistically significant.
These included football, boys' basketball, boys' wrestling, boys' baseball
and girls' softball. High school football had the highest rates of
concussion, according to the study.
