Grassroots Star: Adam Annaccone
from NATA Share    
 Adam Annaccone, MEd, ATC, PES, didn't take, "No," for an answer during at the 2009 Capitol Hill Day when G.T. Thompson Jr., (PA-5) wouldn't agree to support athletic training legislation. Annaccone eventually convinced Thompson Jr. to visit Clarion University. Thompson met with the athletic trainers, learned more about the profession and toured the health care facilities. "He left with a completely different perspective,"
Annaccone said. "I'm not saying he will sponsor H.R. 1137, but he definitely understands what we're trying to do and why it's necessary." Be like Adam, and do your part for athletic training legislation. More

The Problem with Football
from
Time
Share
On Sunday, some 90 million people will watch the Indianapolis Colts play the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. Perhaps the Roman numerals are appropriate. Although football hasn't quite reached the bloodlust status achieved at the ancient Coliseum, the
path to Super Bowl XLIV is strewn with the broken bodies and damaged brains that result when highly motivated, superbly conditioned athletes collide violently in pursuit of glory. The more we learn about the human cost of this quintessentially American sport, the more questions are being raised regarding the people who run it and play it. More than 3 million kids play football at the youth level, and an additional 1.2 million suit up for their high school teams. So football's safety issues
reverberate far beyond the NFL.

New Bill's Focus: Concussions in High School Athletes
from
The Hartford Courant
Share
Although concussions in high school football attract the greatest attention, advocates of a new bill designed to protect youths say girls soccer players are the next most likely to sustain such brain injuries among student
athletes below the college level. High school student athletes sustain at least 100,000 concussions a year in the United States — the majority of them in football, followed by girls’ soccer, boys’ soccer, girls’ basketball and wrestling, according to information compiled by Democratic state senators proposing legislation in the General Assembly session that opens next week.

Barefoot Running: How We Ran Comfortably, Safely Before Shoes
from
Science Daily
Share
New research is casting doubt on the old adage, "All you need to run is a pair of shoes." Scientists have found that those who run barefoot, or in minimal footwear, tend to avoid "heel-striking," and instead
land on the ball of the foot or the middle of the foot. In so doing, these runners use the architecture of the foot and leg and some clever Newtonian physics to avoid hurtful and potentially damaging impacts, equivalent to two to three times body weight that shod heel-strikers repeatedly experience.

All Clear? Head Injuries Get Attention From States
from
The Associated Press via ABC News
Share
At least a
half-dozen states are considering measures that would toughen restrictions on young athletes returning to play after head injuries, inspired by individual cases and the attention the issue has received in the NFL. Washington state led the way last year, passing what is considered the nation's strongest return-to-play statute. Athletes under 18 who show concussion symptoms can't take the field again without a licensed health care provider's written approval. Several other states, including
California and Pennsylvania, have similar bills pending.
