Summary

This study will enroll 4,000 athletes aged 12–30 to improve how concussions are diagnosed on the spot and set safer return-to-play rules. Researchers will also test whether neck training and vision exercises can help prevent brain injuries. The goal is to find blood markers that show a concussion has occurred and reduce the risk of future sports-related head injuries.
