A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/pa4zw3s . . Every 25 seconds, a young athlete experiences a sports injury so severe, it sends him to the emergency room. . New research released earlier this month by Safe Kids Worldwide studied injuries in the 14 most popular sports. Concussions accounted for 163,000 emergency room visits, or a concussion-related ER visit every three minutes. . The report shows it isnt just high school athletes suffering concussions. Those ages 12 to 15 make up nearly half of those sports-related concussions. In addition, the study reports, younger children with concussions take longer to recover than older children. . In 2011, the sport with the most injuries was football, which also has the highest concussion rate. Wrestling and cheerleading had the second- and third-highest concussion rates. Ice hockey also has an extremely high number of concussions. . The more common injuries that we see in school-age children vary between sports, said Dr. Michael M. Hess, an orthopedic surgeon in Bountiful. Football has some of the more significant injuries. Concussions have become a significant problem. Repetitive concussions are also a major concern. . Symptoms of concussion can include a brief loss of consciousness, headache, nausea, vomiting and confusion, Hess said. The patient may also feel like they are in a fog or dizzy and experience neck pain, irritability and confusion. . Hess said any athlete with a suspected concussion should be evaluated by trained health care providers. If the patient is unconscious, he or she should be treated as if a neck or head injury has been sustained. The player should never go back to playing until he has been evaluated and cleared by a physician. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
