Chatham, L. S., Young, T. S., Wojcik, R. M., Bell, L. A., Torbati, A. H., Carpenter, R. D., Jenkins, P. E., Poddar, S. K., Yakacki, C. M. “…There is a need to understand the relationship between head kinematics, impact severity metrics, and overall helmet performance as sports-related concussions continue to be prevalent. This study evaluates these relationships, emphasizing newly developed severity metrics that consider both translational and rotational contributions. …”

Sohail, J., Teixeira-Dias, F., Merriman, S. “…Mild traumatic brain injury within contact sports is a growing concern due to the serious risk of injury and concussion. Extensive research is being conducted looking into head kinematics during impacts in non-helmeted contact sports utilizing instrumented mouthguards, allowing researchers to record accelerations and velocities of the head during and after an impact. …”

A. “…Models were adjusted for age group, sex, body-checking policy, level of play, weight, previous injury within 12 months, lifetime concussion history, and position. RESULTS: The cohort included 4418 male and female players (representing 6584 player-seasons). …”

Stojanovic, E., Scanlan, A. T., Radovanovic, D., Jakovljevic, V., Živkovic, V., Faude, O., Fox, J., Raasch, K., Ferrauti, A. “…The most common injury types were ligament sprains (IR = 0.102 per 100 AEs) followed by muscle/tendon strains (IR = 0.037 per 100 AEs) and concussions (IR = 0.028 per 100 AEs). A concerning finding was the proportion of head and facial injuries (16.3%), particularly among female players. …”

De Sousa-De Sousa, L., Espinosa, H. G., Maté-Muñoz, J. L., Murias-Lozano, R., Iglesias Muñiz, M., San Sebastián Obregón, F. J., Solís-Mencía, C., García-Fernández, P. “…Impact location analysis indicated side impacts as most prevalent (44%), followed by frontal (29%) and back impacts (19%). Notably, concussive events yielded a pooled peak linear acceleration estimate of 63.01 g, with the RL cohort exhibiting higher acceleration than RU. …”

Veillette, P.-L., Girard, S., D`Amours, J., Huard Pelletier, V., Miquelon, P. “…Factors such as retirement, concussions, social support, parenting style, task-approach goals, and task-oriented behavior were influential components to the well-being and mental health of elite ice hockey players. …”

Vella, J. D., Facer-Childs, E. R., Ogden, J., Liddle, S., Engelman, A., Volchek, I., King, K. “…Of the studies including M and SD of validated scales, scores for depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance were equivalent to population norms, whereas mild or higher scores were reported for stress and adverse alcohol use. Concussion, pain, injury, neurological factors and declined physical function were shown to have a negative influence on mental health. …”
