. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/d5jh6y4 . .(CBS News) Concussions are a major issue in professional football, and a new study suggests the same risk may be present in college programs.
.Preliminary research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's annual meeting in Baltimore finds a significant increase in the number of concussions reported at three college football programs between seasons.
.The study compared concussion rates among football players who played for the Army, Navy and Air Force teams during the 2009-2010 season with rates for the 2010-2011 seasons, and found the number of concussion jumped from 23 reports to 42 reports in that time span.
.During the study period, all players were between 18 and 22. During a given practice, about 150 players participate and during games, 90 players suit up.
.The findings may not however indicate that more players are getting hurt, but may be a function of increased awareness and new concussion measures the NCAA put in place in April 2010.
.The current guidelines call for a process for annual education for student-athletes about signs and symptoms of concussions, a requirement that says athletes displaying concussion symptoms should be removed from athletic activity and evaluated by medical staff, a policy that precludes student-athletes diagnosed with concussions from returning to the game the same day and a policy that requires medical clearance from a physician to return to athletic activity.
."The timing of the new NCAA regulations and the increase in reported concussions could certainly be attributed to under-reporting from players and coaches in the past," study author Dr. Kelly Kilcoyne, a researcher at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, DC., said in a press release.
