Sports Injury Statistics The ranking of most injuries in sports is very speculative, however
for boys U9-U151. Football2. Ice Hockey3. Lacrosse4. Wrestling5. Soccer
According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, in a study from 2008-2012 Concussions in boys Lacrosse accounted for 20% of all injuries. Of that 20%, 75% resulted from body-to-body collisions.
Concussion Awareness Definition: A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes
the way the brain normally works.
Centegra and ImPACT Testing
Cognitive baseline assessment and the follow-up care necessary to provide the best possible outcomes. The full assessment takes 30-40 minutes using the ImPACT test: An online testing program used to test cognitive ability
with certified impact consultants The program measures multiple aspects of cognitive
function in athletes including working memory, reaction time, speed and concentration
The combination of baseline and post injury testing helps to evaluate a student’s condition and their ability for a safe return to play – recommended for ages 10 to 18
