YOUTH SPORTS-RELATED CONCUSSIONS ON THE RISE

According to a new American Academy of Pediatrics study published in their Pediatrics journal, the rate of sports-related concussions in young children and high school-age athletes is on the rise. From 1997 to 2007, emergency department visits for concussion in kids aged 8 to 13 playing organized sports doubled while the number of visits by older teens also increased by more than 200 percent. The study listed football, basketball, soccer, and ice hockey as the organized sports in which concussions were most likely to occur; bicycling and snow sports presented the greatest risk for individual sports.

For information on how to rescue someone with a concussion or other sports-related injury, take a life safety class through our company and become prepared!

Until next time, stay safe and happy!
