A new study indicates that an athlete’s brain may cause damage to the brain of an athlete for at least one year, until they re -include their game.
Studies published on Wednesday in journal Nervous scienceFound college athletes had brain changes that were visible in the brain, when they were approved to return to play.
Lead researcher Nathan Churchill said in a news release, “The presence of long-lasting brain changes after injury reinforces concerns about the results of frequent opportunities, and to what extent the effects accumulate over time.” UPI.
187 college athletes were examined for the study, 25 of which faced a fusion while playing regular seasons in basketball, football, hockey, lacros, rugby, saucer and volleyball.
Those who were compared to 27 athletes who did not face a consent.
These athletes scanned the MRI, before they had five days before the commencement of the season, one to three months, and one year after returning after a year.
The players showed signs of brain injury in their MRI scan, which was taken on an average after five days, when they were approved to play, the results of the research show. And signs of brain injury lasted until a year later.
The editorial wrote, “This is important because the initial return to play and the incomplete recovery can have severe short -term and long -term results, especially in the youth,” the editorial wrote.
