CTE Risk Unveiled Beyond Concussions in Football | New Harvard Study

Discover the groundbreaking findings of a new Harvard study that challenges the traditional understanding of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in athletes. While concussions have long been associated with CTE, this research reveals that repeated hits to the head, whether concussive or not, can also contribute to the development of this degenerative brain disease. Join Dr. Dan Daneshvar, lead author of the study and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, as he sheds light on the cumulative impact of head hits in football players. Using data from football helmet sensors and brain donations from over 600 former players, the study highlights the elevated CTE risk faced by linemen due to the sheer number of hits they endure. Former NFL Running Back Doug Chapman shares his personal experiences and emphasizes the importance of player safety. With new technologies like the Q-collar and soft-shell helmet covers, efforts are being made to mitigate the impact of head blows in professional and college football. Youth leagues have also taken measures to eliminate tackling during practices. Explore the implications of this research on athlete safety and the responsibility of sports organizations to protect their players. Join the conversation and gain valuable insights into the evolving understanding of CTE in the world of sports. ------------------------------------- Scripps News is your source for news and analysis covering the top stories from around the world.
