Abstract

Acute traumatic head injury associated with football usually occurs in heading. Especially sports-related concussion (SRC) occurs frequently. SRC in football have recently earned increased attention due to world-wide popularity. The SRC incidence rate was 0.3 ~ 9 / 1000 hours athlete exposures (AE). But it is under reported.

More research is needed to better detect and understand the mechanism of SRC.
