Message: [QUOTE="Devland, post: 3253910, member: 394"] Interesting list [URL='https://completeconcussions.com/2018/12/05/concussion-rates-what-sport-most-concussions/']from this article[/URL] [SIZE=5][B][B]Youth athletes (18 years and under)[/B][/B][/SIZE] Concussions in youth sports are particularly concerning as recent evidence suggests that the earlier in life a concussion is experienced, the higher likelihood of having prolonged complications. This is potentially due to injuring a brain that is still developing. Similar to adult sports, the youth sport with the highest rate of concussion is rugby at 4.18 concussions per 1,000 AE.[2] Unlike the above study, the [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26626271']youth study[/URL] did not separate injury rate by male or female, or by games or practice. Ice hockey had the second highest concussion rate with 1.20 concussions per 1, 000 AE. American football came in third (0.53 concussions/1000 AE).[2] See the full list below: [LIST=1] [*]Rugby (4.18/1,000 AE) [*]Ice hockey (1.20/1,000 AE) [*]American football (0.53/1,000 AE) [*]Lacrosse (0.24/1,000 AE) [*]Football (or soccer) (0.23/1,000 AE) [*]Wrestling (0.17/1,000 AE) [*]Basketball (0.13/1,000 AE) [*]Softball & Field Hockey (Tie) (0.10/1,000 AE) [*]Baseball (0.06/1,000 AE) [*]Cheerleading (0.07/1,000 AE) [*]Volleyball (0.03/1,000 AE) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
