Summary

This study aims to measure natural substances in saliva that may help diagnose concussions in athletes. Concussions are common in sports but hard to detect with standard scans. Researchers will collect saliva from 80 male athletes before, during, and after exercise to establish normal levels of these biomarkers. The goal is to create a reliable, non-invasive test for concussion diagnosis.
