A new study from Boston University is arguing that repetitive hits to the
head over years of playing sports are a more significant factor than
individual concussions in predicting cognitive issue later in life.
.
The study, published in the Journal of Neurotrauma on Thursday, found that
the cumulative number of hits suffered by an athlete had a noticeable link
to memory and mood issues later in life. Researchers also found that past
studies had been too focused on actual concussions.
.
There has been a tremendous amount of growth in the last several years in
the prevention, detection, and management of symptomatic concussions
across all levels of play and all sports. Thats fantastic, Dr. Robert
Stern, one of the studys co-authors, said to the Washington Post. The
problem is that the focus on concussion has taken away from an appropriate
discussion about the more common subconcussive trauma.
.
The study estimated the total number of hits to the head suffered by
football players based on the total number of years played. The authors
used recently published date from helmet accelerometer studies that have
calculated the average number of hits per season in their estimates.
.
The mean total impacts for the group studied, which ranged in age from 24
to 82, was 7,742.
.
The authors of the paper, who studied 93 men who played football at the
high school and college level, admitted that the study was not conclusive
due to the limited sample size.
