The present study examined to what extent professional boxing compromises cerebral
haemodynamic function and its association with CTBI (chronic traumatic brain injury). A total …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Acute traumatic brain injury (ATBI) represents the neurologic
consequence of concussive and sub concussive blows to the head. Evidence suggests that …

The objective was to compare two neurophysiological variables in active amateur boxers
with non-boxing sportsmen. 41 boxers and 27 controls were given psychometric tests: 34 …

Boxing exposes participants to the physiological response to high intensity exercise and
also to direct body and brain trauma. Amateur boxing is increasing and females have also …

Objectives The potential effects of exposure to repetitive subconcussive head impacts
through routine participation in sport are not understood. To investigate the effects of …

Objective: Some patients with postconcussion syndrome (PCS) have reduced exercise
capacity that may reflect altered central cardiorespiratory control. The purpose of this study …

Despite increased interest regarding the potentially long-term negative impact of chronic
traumatic brain injury, limited research has been conducted regarding such injuries and …

Background Sports-related head trauma is common but still there is no established
laboratory test used in the diagnostics of minimal or mild traumatic brain injuries. Further the …

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured by 133-xenon inhalation in 24 amateur
and 20 professional boxers, and in 10 judoka. Results were compared with those from age …

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) has emerged as a technique for assessing mild traumatic brain
injury (mTBI), as it can noninvasively evaluate cerebrovascular physiology. To date, there is …
