Yes / ... Sustaining a sport-related concussion (SRC) has been
associated with negative consequences to emotion and cognition
in recent years,4,5 and head impacts are no different.1
Moreover, there is a consistent link reported with neurodegenerative
diseases such as motor-neuron disease, Parkinson’s disease, and
dementia. Although this is well-known within the scientific
community, and becoming so in the general population, we still
place children at risk. Promoting attitude change toward SRC and
head impacts in sport is difficult enough with adults as many are
accustomed to the way their contact sports are played and
spectated. However, a redeeming feature for many researchers is
that the evidence is there, and the rhetoric is being discussed in
the mainstream media across the world.
