Introduction Repetitive head impacts (RHI) sustained in contact sports are thought to be
necessary for the long-term development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Our …

Competitive sport participation, in contact and collision sports, exposes athletes to repetitive
head impacts. Although these impacts do not always result in overt symptomology or a …

The aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal changes in the diffusion characteristics of
brain white matter (WM) in collegiate athletes at three time points: prior to the start of the …

Repetitive head impacts (RHI) are commonly observed in athletes participating in contact
sports such as American football, ice hockey, and soccer. RHI usually do not result in acute …

Objective Repetitive subconcussive head impacts (RSHI) may lead to structural, functional,
and metabolic alterations of the brain. While differences between males and females have …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the cumulative effects of head impacts from a
season of high school football produce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measureable …

Introduction Later-life brain alterations in former tackle football players are poorly
understood, particularly regarding their relationship with repetitive head impacts (RHIs) and …

Thalamic atrophy has been associated with exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI) in
professional fighters. The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not age at first …

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with
repetitive head impacts (RHI), but the components of RHI exposure underlying this …

Objective: To determine whether exposure to repetitive head impacts over a single season
affects white matter diffusion measures in collegiate contact sport athletes. Methods: A …
