Article Synopsis
- Recent brain studies indicate that athletes in contact sports experience measurable cognitive and sensory impairments due to cumulative subconcussive impacts throughout the season.
- This study compares a high-contact group to a low-contact control group and includes both male and female high school athletes, using 231 brain scans over a year.
- Results show that while both genders exhibit similar subconcussive impairments, female athletes respond more significantly overall, indicating the importance of monitoring these changes to improve health outcomes related to repetitive head impacts.
