Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the Olympics, the World Cup and various other sporting events, the great success of athletes has become a hot topic, but at the same time, unfortunately, the injury of athletes occurs during these events. In particular, sports-related neurological diseases have recently received a large amount of social attention. The diagnosis, treatment and management of sports-related concussion in the short term, the impact of repeated concussion on chronic traumatic encephalopathy and degenerative diseases in the long term, and the effects of repeated head shock such as heading in young age groups are recognized as topics of interest.

From this perspective, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the field, presenting the most relevant advancements in this research area.

In recent years, head injuries in sports have garnered attention, and in particular, international discussions have been held on the prevention of and response to sports-related concussions (SRCs). The purpose of this study is to investigate past SRCs experienced by university students in Japan, clarify the state and mechanism of such injuries in each sport, and consider the creation of an environment for future SRC prevention and responses. A questionnaire survey on past SRC experience was conducted among 1731 students who belonged to Fukuoka University in Japan and took “sports medicine” classes in 2020. Responses from 1140 students (collection rate: 65.9%) were obtained. According to this survey, it was revealed that 39 students (3.7%) had experienced SRC. The male–female ratio of those who had experienced SRC was 31 males (79.5%) and 8 females (20.5%). Two males had experienced SRC twice. In this study, SRCs were recognized in a variety of sports, not just in a few contact sports. It is necessary to further disseminate education on head injury prevention and SRCs among both athletes and coaches, because SRCs have been frequently recognized in various sports. Full article
