Preferred term

concussion  

Definition

  • Each year in sports, it is estimated that nearly 300,000 concussions occur at all levels of competition. Concussions are likely underreported as athletes may withhold their symptoms from coaches, teammates, parents, athletic trainers, and physicians for fear of being kept out of competition.
