Concussions Double Between Seasons for 3 College Football Teams: Better Diagnosis?

A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/d5jh6y4 . . (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. . .
