Health of professional athletes, ability of sports governing bodies and governments to take adequate measures:
Concussion in sport is a highly topical issue. Not a day goes by without incidents being reported in the media.
Alexandra Veuthey, who has completed her Ph.D. dissertation on the regulation of concussion in professional team sports at Melbourne Law School, provides us with some insights.
The growing problem:
Concussion is a serious issue for both current and retired professional athletes.
Numerous sports governing bodies (SGBs) were sued in the US and Canada.
These new revelations may only be the ‘tip of the iceberg’.

These new revelations may only be the ‘tip of the iceberg’.
Measures taken by sports governing bodies (SGBs):
The measures taken by sports SGBs regarding concussion can be divided into six broad categories: The rules of play, rules of the game and concussion management protocols, financial support to injured athletes, education, research and data collection.

The need for harmonisation:
Harmonised, collaborative reforms appear urgently necessary, given the ongoing nature of the concussion controversy across countries and sports, and the need for sport to operate internationally.
Harmonised, collaborative reforms appear urgently necessary, given the ongoing nature of the concussion controversy across countries and sports, and the need for sport to operate internationally.
Proposed reforms:
Sport offers various examples of harmonised regulatory frameworks, making it possible not to start from scratch. This includes the fields of doping, match-fixing and spectator violence.
World Anti-Doping Code (WADA Code) and International (UNESCO) Convention against Doping in Sport, which involve more than 660 sports organisations and nearly 190 governments.
A similar system should be considered for the regulation of concussion. This could include an International Standard on Concussion (the ‘ISC’), a supporting international convention (‘UNESCO Convention’), a new World Sports Safety Agency (‘WSSA’) and some limited enforcement mechanisms.

Rund 50.000 Gehirnerschütterungen werden in Deutschland pro Jahr an Versicherungen gemeldet - die Dunkelziffer, schätzen Experten, könnte dreimal so hoch sein.

Players can be tested after injury and in return to play scenarios, or weekly as a “fit for play” test: not all concussions are witnessed and recognized, and whether they occur at training, in a game, off-field at home or in the school playground, or if multiple smaller (sub-concussive) impacts cause a change in brain function, NUROCHEK will show the change.

One drop of blood is enough for TBIcheck to diagnose a possible mild brain trauma. The idea: Away to do a quick examination that would allow, during a boxing or American football match, for example, to determine whether the athlete can return to the field or if his condition requires hospitalization.
