Girls, Sports and Concussions
Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Girls have a higher risk for concussions than boys who play the same sport
and a new study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine says female
athletes also have more symptoms and take longer to bounce back from these
head injuries than boys. So do younger girls compared to older girls.
.
The Healthy Kids Blog turned to Prithvi Narayan, M.D., chief of
neurosurgery at St. Christophers Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, to
understand why this is happening and to find out what parents, coaches
and athletes can do. Over 1.6 million Americans suffer a sports-related
concussion every year; a growing number are high school and college
athletes.
.
Why would girls have more concussions, more symptoms and take longer to
heal than boys?
.
There are two possible reasons. One theory is that because girls usually
have smaller, more slender necks with smaller neck muscles, their heads
may wobble more if they hit their heads or are heading the ball in soccer.
That could raise risk for a concussion and for more severe symptoms. The
second theory is that female athletes report concussions and symptoms more
often and more accurately than boys do. They may be less likely to just
shake it off and get back in the game or the practice something that was
ingrained in male athletes for decades before we knew that a potential
concussion needs to be taken seriously.
