    Abstract
    Research indicates that protocol regarding concussion assessment management at the high school and collegiate level is advancing, however, there are holes in consistency that need to be filled in order to ensure accuracy. The purpose of this synthesis was to review the literature on concussion assessment management in high school and collegiate athletics. The results indicate that the lack of consistency comes as a direct result of key factors including a school’s lack of funding and lack of resources, the emphasis placed on the self-efficacy of athletic trainers, and the willingness of athletic trainers to follow guidelines provided for the testing methods.

      Concussion Prevention and Technology

      Raimondo, Daniel; Houston-Wilson, Cathy; Prince, Nicholas Todd (2021-05-20)
      As more information emerges involving the long-term effects of concussions on athletes, so does the push to protect them, and in turn, continue to encourage participation. Concussions are extremely prevalent in the sport of football in particular, despite athletes wearing protective equipment such as helmets. Analysis of previous research shows that technological advancements in video analysis as well as impact tracking systems can positively influence player safety. When combining this with continued advancement in equipment development, testing, and proper usage, especially in the sport of football, athletes will be better protected. The purpose of this synthesis is to review the literature on the effects of technology on reducing the risk of concussions in sports. A second purpose of this synthesis is to review the importance of football equipment and its effects on concussion prevention.

      The Effects of Sports Related Concussions on Retired Professional Football Players

      Anthony, Matthew (SUNY Brockport, Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies, and Physical Education, 2021-12-21)
      Concussions in the NFL have become extremely important over the last decade. As new information regarding these brain injuries is discovered, there is an increase in awareness on and off the field. Former athletes Junior Seau and Percy Harvin suffered from concussions during their playing careers and there have been lasting impacts when they retired from the NFL. Seau committed suicide while being diagnosed with CTE and Harvin was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Researchers on the topic have found there are significant signs of future mental illness and impairments associated with concussions for retired professional football athletes. For example, there’s an increased risk of depression. It has been suggested by researchers to further the investigation on these brain injuries and come up with new innovative ways to report concussions to help these athletes ease their symptoms. The purpose of this synthesis was to review the literature on the effects of sports-related concussions on the cognitive and mental health of retired professional football athletes.

      The effect of concussions in professional sports with a focus on the National Football League: a meta-analysis

      Neville, Kerri (2019-12)
      This study reviews what concussions are, how they affect the brain, and how professional sports, specifically the NFL, put athletes at risk of obtaining traumatic brain injuries. To find this the reasoning behind why concussions are more prevalent in the NFL and the different ways a concussion could happen during different plays to specific positions are examined as well. The long-term effects that concussions have on athletes is permanent and life-threatening, as athletes are getting stronger and faster each year, concussions have been on an upward trend. Revealing the social and physical effects of concussions on professional athletes is a needed meta-analysis that has not been done, there are a lot of studies about concussions in the NFL that reveal different information. By researching this topic and bringing similar data and information from published studies together, there is a stronger report that reveals the truth. This study opens a light to the dangers of football, and sports in general, and provokes a change in the professional sporting policies.
