Protecting Your Young Athlete From Concussions
The amount of serious head trauma and the long term affects from youth sporting head injuries are of increasing concern in the medical community. Chiefly among the worries for medical professionals are second impact syndrome, when the young athlete is struck again in the head after not fully recovering from an initial head wound.
The long term affects of sport related concussions on young athletes is just now being fully realized, and the risk of serious long-term injuries and even fatalities increases dramatically when a young athlete is struck in the head while still healing from an original head injury. CNN’s Doctor Sanjay Gupta has a special on the issue airing this Saturday titled “Big Hits, Broken Dreams”. Here is a preview of the special.
The CDC has developed 3 separate advisories and useful information for young athletes, their parents and coaches. Follow this link to access information from the CDC’s “Heads Up: Concussions in Youth Sports” campaign.
