abstract = {There is some controversy regarding the effectiveness of helmets in preventing head injuries among cyclists. Epidemiological, experimental and computer simulation studies have suggested that helmets do indeed have a protective effect, whereas other studies based on epidemiological data have argued that there is no evidence that the helmet protects the brain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of a helmet in single bicycle accident reconstructions using detailed finite element simulations. Strain in the brain tissue, which is associated with brain injuries, was reduced by up to 43% for the accident cases studied when a helmet was included. This resulted in a reduction of the risk of concussion of up to 54%. The stress to the skull bone went from fracture level of 80 MPa down to 13-16 MPa when a helmet was included and the skull fracture risk was reduced by up to 98% based on linear acceleration. Even with a 10% increased riding velocity for the helmeted impacts, to take into account possible increased risk taking, the risk of concussion was still reduced by up to 46% when compared with the unhelmeted impacts with original velocity. The results of this study show that the brain injury risk and risk of skull fracture could have been reduced in these three cases if a helmet had been worn.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of preseason concussion education on knowledge and self-reported attitudes and reporting behaviors. We hypothesized that preseason education would lead to better knowledge and self-reported attitudes and better reporting of concussion symptoms during the season. METHODS: This study involved a prospective cohort comparing the benefits of a preseason lectured-based concussion education session at one high school with a control school. Participants included males and females age 13 years to 18 years from two community high schools who were participating in higher concussion risk, fall or winter sports (football, soccer, wrestling, and basketball). The education school and control school included 234 and 262 participants, respectively. Outcomes were a preseason and postseason survey assessing knowledge and self-reported attitudes about concussions and an end-of-season questionnaire assessing concussion reporting behaviors during the season. RESULTS: Total scores on the combined (p \< 0.0001), knowledge-based (p = 0.016), and behavioral-based (p \< 0.0001) questions demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the education group. Scores peaked immediately after education but dissipated at the end of the season. There was a lower proportion in the education school (72%) compared with the control school (88%) that reported continued play despite having concussion symptoms during the season (p = 0.025). A similar proportion of athletes diagnosed with concussion during the season in the education (27%) and control schools (23%) reported returning to play before symptoms resolved (p = 0.81). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that a didactic-based preseason concussion education likely has minimal benefits. Other factors besides knowledge are likely influencing student-athlete concussion reporting behavior. Future research focused on changing the culture of concussion reporting is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level III.},

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To present currently known basic science and on-ice influences of sport-related concussion (SRC) in hockey, building on the Ice Hockey Summit I action plan (2011) to reduce SRC. METHODS: The prior summit proceedings included an action plan intended to reduce SRC. As such, the proceedings from Summit I served as a point of departure, for the science and discussion held during Summit II (Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, October 2013). Summit II focused on (1) Basic Science of Concussions in Ice Hockey: Taking Science Forward; (2) Acute and Chronic Concussion Care: Making a Difference; (3) Preventing Concussions via Behavior, Rules, Education and Measuring Effectiveness; (4) Updates in Equipment: their Relationship to Industry Standards; and (5) Policies and Plans at State, National and Federal Levels to reduce SRC. Action strategies derived from the presentations and discussion described in these sectors were subsequently voted on for purposes of prioritization. The following proceedings include knowledge and research shared by invited faculty, many of whom are health care providers and clinical investigators. RESULTS: The Summit II evidence-based action plan emphasizes the rapidly evolving scientific content of hockey SRC. It includes the most highly prioritized strategies voted on for implementation to decrease concussion. CONCLUSIONS: The highest priority action items identified from the Summit includes the following: (1) eliminate head hits from all levels of ice hockey, (2) change body-checking policies, and (3) eliminate fighting in all amateur and professional hockey.},

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To present currently known basic science and on-ice influences of sport-related concussion (SRC) in hockey, building on the Ice Hockey Summit I action plan (2011) to reduce SRC. METHODS: The prior summit proceedings included an action plan intended to reduce SRC. As such, the proceedings from Summit I served as a point of departure, for the science and discussion held during Summit II (Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, October 2013). Summit II focused on (1) Basic Science of Concussions in Ice Hockey: Taking Science Forward; (2) Acute and Chronic Concussion Care: Making a Difference; (3) Preventing Concussions via Behavior, Rules, Education and Measuring Effectiveness; (4) Updates in Equipment: their Relationship to Industry Standards; and (5) Policies and Plans at State, National and Federal Levels to reduce SRC. Action strategies derived from the presentations and discussion described in these sectors were subsequently voted on for purposes of prioritization. The following proceedings include knowledge and research shared by invited faculty, many of whom are health care providers and clinical investigators. RESULTS: The Summit II evidence-based action plan emphasizes the rapidly evolving scientific content of hockey SRC. It includes the most highly prioritized strategies voted on for implementation to decrease concussion. CONCLUSIONS: The highest priority action items identified from the Summit includes the following: (1) eliminate head hits from all levels of ice hockey, (2) change body-checking policies, and (3) eliminate fighting in all amateur and professional hockey.},

abstract = {There is some controversy regarding the effectiveness of helmets in preventing head injuries among cyclists. Epidemiological, experimental and computer simulation studies have suggested that helmets do indeed have a protective effect, whereas other studies based on epidemiological data have argued that there is no evidence that the helmet protects the brain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of a helmet in single bicycle accident reconstructions using detailed finite element simulations. Strain in the brain tissue, which is associated with brain injuries, was reduced by up to 43% for the accident cases studied when a helmet was included. This resulted in a reduction of the risk of concussion of up to 54%. The stress to the skull bone went from fracture level of 80 MPa down to 13-16 MPa when a helmet was included and the skull fracture risk was reduced by up to 98% based on linear acceleration. Even with a 10% increased riding velocity for the helmeted impacts, to take into account possible increased risk taking, the risk of concussion was still reduced by up to 46% when compared with the unhelmeted impacts with original velocity. The results of this study show that the brain injury risk and risk of skull fracture could have been reduced in these three cases if a helmet had been worn.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

abstract = {BACKGROUND: The benefit of preseason concussion education on athletes' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors is unclear. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of preseason concussion education on knowledge and self-reported attitudes and reporting behaviors. We hypothesized that preseason education would lead to better knowledge and self-reported attitudes and better reporting of concussion symptoms during the season. METHODS: This study involved a prospective cohort comparing the benefits of a preseason lectured-based concussion education session at one high school with a control school. Participants included males and females age 13 years to 18 years from two community high schools who were participating in higher concussion risk, fall or winter sports (football, soccer, wrestling, and basketball). The education school and control school included 234 and 262 participants, respectively. Outcomes were a preseason and postseason survey assessing knowledge and self-reported attitudes about concussions and an end-of-season questionnaire assessing concussion reporting behaviors during the season. RESULTS: Total scores on the combined (p \< 0.0001), knowledge-based (p = 0.016), and behavioral-based (p \< 0.0001) questions demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the education group. Scores peaked immediately after education but dissipated at the end of the season. There was a lower proportion in the education school (72%) compared with the control school (88%) that reported continued play despite having concussion symptoms during the season (p = 0.025). A similar proportion of athletes diagnosed with concussion during the season in the education (27%) and control schools (23%) reported returning to play before symptoms resolved (p = 0.81). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that a didactic-based preseason concussion education likely has minimal benefits. Other factors besides knowledge are likely influencing student-athlete concussion reporting behavior. Future research focused on changing the culture of concussion reporting is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level III.},

This paper is focused on providing detailed methods for select vision training tools and reporting normative data for comparison when vision training is a part of a sports management program. The overall program includes standard vision training methods including tachistoscope, Brock's string, and strobe glasses, as well as specialized light board training algorithms. Stereopsis is measured as a means to monitor vision training affects. In addition, quantitative results for vision training methods as well as baseline and post-testing *A and Reaction Test measures with progressive scores are reported. Collegiate athletes consistently improve after six weeks of training in their stereopsis, *A and Reaction Test scores. When vision training is initiated as a team wide exercise, the incidence of concussion decreases in players who participate in training compared to players who do not receive the vision training. Vision training produces functional and performance changes that, when monitored, can be used to assess the success of the vision training and can be initiated as part of a sports medical intervention for concussion prevention.},
