Concussion in Sport

A concussion in sports is a type of brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a violent shaking of the head and body. It can disrupt normal brain function, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Athletes may not always lose consciousness, making it crucial to recognize and report any symptoms. Proper assessment and management are vital to ensure safety, as repeat concussions can lead to serious long-term health issues. Coaches, players, and parents should prioritize concussion awareness and follow guidelines for recovery to protect athletes' health.
