(CBS News) Concussions are a major issue in professional football, and a
new study suggests the same risk may be present in college programs.
.
Preliminary research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society
for Sports Medicine's annual meeting in Baltimore finds a significant
increase in the number of concussions reported at three college football
programs between seasons.
.
The study compared concussion rates among football players who played for
the Army, Navy and Air Force teams during the 2009-2010 season with rates
for the 2010-2011 seasons, and found the number of concussion jumped from
23 reports to 42 reports in that time span.
.
During the study period, all players were between 18 and 22. During a
given practice, about 150 players participate and during games, 90 players
suit up.
.
The findings may not however indicate that more players are getting hurt,
but may be a function of increased awareness and new concussion measures
the NCAA put in place in April 2010.
.
The current guidelines call for a process for annual education for
student-athletes about signs and symptoms of concussions, a requirement
that says athletes displaying concussion symptoms should be removed from
athletic activity and evaluated by medical staff, a policy that precludes
student-athletes diagnosed with concussions from returning to the game the
same day and a policy that requires medical clearance from a physician to
return to athletic activity.
.
"The timing of the new NCAA regulations and the increase in reported
concussions could certainly be attributed to under-reporting from players
and coaches in the past," study author Dr. Kelly Kilcoyne, a researcher at
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, DC., said in a
press release.
