collegiate Football players’ perceptions on Concussion Management
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Research has investigated the adverse effects of athletic concussion and its controversy, yet little work to date has examined the perceptions of players regarding the concussion controversy. This study investigated 37 community college football players’ perceptions on their knowledge and understanding of sport-related concussion. Data was categorized into evidence of concussion, knowledge of concussion management, confidence in collegiate modifications and regulations, and the significance of concussion long-term consequences to the player. Overall, no player reported sustaining three or more concussions. Participants lack knowledge about concussion rehabilitative procedures. Players felt the 7-day post concussion return to play policy is appropriate, and they would take the risk to continue play even if they feel concussed in a game.
