#1), over the past seven years there have been almost triple the amount of published articles than there were between 1982 and 1996 on the topic of sports-related concussions and how frequently they occur in the United States of America; that fact alone shows that concussions and head injuries in athletes is a growing problem that affects more and more people each year.

But Fred Theye also mentions that "high school athletes are more vulnerable to concussions than older students and may take longer to recover". If a student athlete sits out for the prescribed amount of time after their concussion, it will balance their recovery time and make it…

Athletic trainers work to treat injuries that occur within all aspects of sports in order to return players to the field or court as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately this amount was rejected by the United States district court judge who was presiding over the NFL settlement between the NFL and the 5,000 former players that who sued the NFL (Belson 1). The agreement was rejected because it was…

sustain another concussion that could potentially lead to death. Athletic trainers and coaches may not see that a player just took a big hit to the head, as there are 11 players total on the field all moving at the same time. With symptoms sometimes not showing up until hours later, it could possibly be too late for that player that took the blow to the head, which is why it is so important to self report the possibility of a concussion. I also believe that players may not know the…

chest and put your hand in front of it's mouth to check for a breath. If s/he isn't breathing pull the tongue forward, close the mouth and tilt the head a little to open the airway so that you remove anything that is blocking it. If you are unable to remove the obstruction you can perform the Heimlich Manoeuvre: Hold the dog upside down with it's head facing the floor and shake it gently while thumping it's chest with your hand. Then give two mouth-to-nose ventilations (while blocking it's…
