California Leaders Move to
Tighten Concussion Rules
from
the San Jose Mercury News
Share
California could be moving toward tough rules to protect young athletes from concussions, with new legislation and a proposal from the state's high school sports federation calling
for doctors to weigh in before any injured student is allowed back on the field. The proposals follow a swell of media attention -- especially after the near death of San Jose High Academy football player Matt Blea -- and new scientific evidence that shows how susceptible young people in particular are to the debilitating effects of brain trauma.

Heart Condition Cited in Gaines Adams' Death Often Goes Undetected
from
The Greenville News
Share
The condition believed to have claimed the life of former Clemson University football star Gaines Adams has killed other young elite athletes and often goes undiscovered until it is too late. Adams, a 26-year-old defensive end for the Chicago Bears, died of cardiac arrest because of an enlarged heart, according to Greenwood County Coroner James T. Coursey. Sudden cardiac death can be
caused by a number of things, but the most common cause in young athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, said Dr. Barbara Moran-Faile, cardiologist with Upstate Cardiology and medical director of community outreach cardiology services for Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

Parents Not Taking Concussions Seriously Enough
from
Business Week
Share
Children who suffer a concussion don't just have a minor head bump, but
a brain injury that parents, coaches and teachers need to take more seriously, Canadian researchers warn. Parents often believe that concussion injury is mild and doesn't involve damage to the brain, said lead researcher Dr. Carol DeMatteo, an associate clinical professor in the School of Rehabilitation Science at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario. However, "concussion really is a brain injury -- there's no question about that," she said.

Soccer Injuries: Cleat/Natural Grass Combo May Lessen ACL Injury Risk
from
Science Daily
Share
Athletes put less strain on their anterior cruciate ligament while making a cut on a natural grass surface while wearing a cleat. This is the conclusion from a study by investigators at
Hospital for Special Surgery that tested the strain placed on the ACL of four different shoe-surface interactions: Astroturf/turf shoe, modern playing turf/turf shoe, modern turf/cleat, and natural grass/cleat. The study appears in the January 2010 issue of the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.

Concussions Becoming a Concern in Basketball
from
the Colorado Springs Gazette
Share
Air Force men's basketball’s surprising problem with concussions this season has to be attributable, at least in part, to bad luck. The Falcons have had six players suffer concussions. The program has never seen concussion numbers that high. Although poor
fortune is a reason, concussions aren’t just for football. Basketball has seen its players get bigger and faster, just like football, and head injuries have increased. In a National Athletic Trainers’ Association study from 1988-2004, there was a 65 percent increase in head injuries suffered during NCAA games from the first three years of the study to the last three years.
