Concussions In Sports Statistics

Multiple concussions can multiply long term brain and mental health risks, including a 3x CTE risk in retired NFL players and a 5x depression risk for youth with 3+ concussions, while prevention stacks up with 3.8 million annual concussions in the US often going unreported. See how research sized the gains from 7 day rest and custom mouthguards to neurocognitive testing that catches 88 percent of concussions accurately and rule changes that cut rugby concussions by 30 percent from 2014 to 2019.

Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

About 3.8 million sports and recreation concussions happen every year in the United States, and many never get officially reported. The surprising part is what follows after the tackle, the contact, and the “just shaken up” diagnosis. From rule changes that cut rugby concussions by 30 percent to neurocognitive testing that flags 88 percent of cases, the numbers raise hard questions about how to protect athletes long after the season ends.
