It is because the human race is evolving.. kids that are being born are growing taller, bigger, stronger and the training is gaining way more intensity...
The biggest controversy in the sport of hockey right now is the amount of concussions that are occurring and how much it is affecting the future of the brain that just got rattled...
They are trying to do everything but these days the NHL game is such a fast game that injuries and extremely prone to occur..
Most people with concussions recover just fine with appropriate treatment. But it's important to takeproper steps if you suspect a concussion because it can be serious.
Some symptoms of a well developed concussion are:
- Loss of consciousness after any trauma to the head
- Confusion
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Loss of short-term memory (you may not remember the actual injury and the events some time before or after the impact)
- Perseverating (repeating the same thing over and over, despite being told the answer each time, for example, "Was I in an accident?")
- Remove the athlete from play.
- Ensure that the athlete is evaluated by a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself.
- Inform the athlete's parents or guardians about the possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussion.
- Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says they are symptom-free and it's OK to return to play.
