Objective: To determine whether exposure to repetitive head impacts over a single season
negatively affects cognitive performance in collegiate contact sport athletes. Methods: This is …

Objective To study longitudinal recovery trajectories of white matter after sports-related
concussion (SRC) by performing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) on collegiate athletes who …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The effect of exposing the developing brain of a high
school football player to subconcussive impacts during a single season is unknown. The …

Objective: Youth athletes are believed to be more susceptible to white matter (WM)
degradation resulting from head impact exposure relative to high school (HS) athletes; this …

Object The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repetitive head impacts on white
matter integrity that were sustained during 1 Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) ice …

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 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traumatic brain injury is common in fighting athletes such
as boxers, given the frequency of blows to the head. Because DTI is sensitive to …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the effects of cumulative head impacts
during a season of high school football produce changes in diffusional kurtosis imaging …

Despite negative neuroimaging findings in concussed athletes, studies indicate that the
acceleration and deceleration of the brain after concussive impacts result in metabolic and …
