(Reuters Life!) - High school athletes are four times more likely to
suffer a concussion today than they were about a decade ago, with football
players leading the pack, according to a study.
.
What was more, concussions appeared to be an issue not only in sports long
thought of as high impact, but also those thought of as low impact, with
some high school athletes suffering from two or more concussions.
.
In 25 public schools from 1997 to 2008, and six different sports each for
girls and boys, there were about five concussions for every 10,000 times
high school athletes were on the field, the research -- published in the
American Journal of Sports Medicine -- found.
.
That's up from slightly over one per 10,000 times on the field in 1997.
.
"Certainly the recognition of signs and symptoms of concussion have
increased dramatically among the players, coaches, athletic trainers and
physicians," study author Andrew Lincoln, who heads the Sports Medicine
Research Center at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
.
"Also, there's the issue of players performing better, getting stronger
and getting faster," he told Reuters Health.
