The Hard-Hitting Consequences of Athletic Head Injuries
Join us for "The Hard-Hitting Consequences of Athletic Head Injuries" webcast
http://www.softconference.com/WebcastSystem/webcast.aspx?WebcastID=67&sessionID=408082
Session Description:
Playing and celebrating sports is a social focal point in many cultures. Many athletes, however, sustain concussions and often return to play before their brains are fully healed. Soccer fans will be interested to learn that women may be more sensitive to the effects of heading the ball than men, while fans of American football will discover that National Football League policy may precipitate unnecessarily high rates of concussion. In addition, researchers will discuss the effects of “subconcussive” head injuries from contact sports as well as the deviation between incidence of concussion and reports of concussion among military academy students, who are required to participate in sports.
