Football Helmet Brand and Concussions...
A recent study suggests that helmet brand may not affect the incidence of concussion among high school football players. The study involved 2,081 players grades 9 to 12. They found that 206 players (9 percent) sustained a total of 211 concussions. There was no significant difference in concussion incidence among players wearing any one of three brands of helmet, nor was helmet age and recondition status linked to increased incidence of concussion. However, players were more likely to sustain a concussion if they wore a custom mouth guard or had a sports-related concussion in the previous 12 months.
