A large study looking at over 350 former National Football League players found that players with a history of concussions and concussive symptoms had reduced cognitive performances later in life.
In anticipation of Super Bowl 50, DeMaurice Smith discusses concussion injuries in the NFL. The executive director of the NFL Players Association says the issue must be addressed head on, tackling “prevention, treatment and medical diagnosis.”
Researchers found that multiple concussions didn't lead to increased troubles later in life; instead, the bigger concern for researchers was what symptoms a player had after a concussion. Germine said that while the NFL has made strides to reduce concussions and educate players, there still needs to be more work done to limit the risks. Part of the reason younger players studied may have less damage than the older players, Germine said, is the changes made in the sport and the more protective equipment and gear that younger players may have worn while playing.
