ntroduction
Sports-related concussion is a significant pediatric health risk, given the number of children involved in sports and the vulnerability of developing brains. Although most research has focused on high school/college athletes, these findings may not be applicable to younger athletes. Method A mixed-methods analysis examined concussion incidence and sequelae in a cohort of 8- to 13-year-old males (N = 31) playing youth football and their parents. Parents provided background information and completed mood/behavioral questionnaires, and each athlete completed a neuropsychological battery. Results Eight athletes (26%) had a history of concussion before assessment. Concussion risk was related to lack of medical evaluation in prior concussions, tackling exposure (in both offensive and defensive positions), and multisport participation. There were no cognitive or psychological differences based on concussion history. Discussion Findings identify factors that may contribute to concussion risk in children and show the need for further research in this understudied population. |
