Section 3: Sports Injuries
Concussion - 2nd Impact Syndrome
A player is at risk of a serious and possibly fatal blow if they return to training before a concussion has resolved. They should be symptom free at each stage before progressing, and if any symptoms develop, go back a stage. Any player/athlete with a second concussion within 12 months, a history of multiple concussions or prolonged symptoms should be assessed and managed by medically trained staff (Pic: Ben Robinson) |
