Tackling concussions, especially in sports such as football, presents serious obstacles to athletes and their performance. From tackles on the field to car crashes in normal accidents, whether occurring inside the field or a collision during practice, head injuries leave victims with lost motor control that can affect their performance in sports. This overview will look at the effects of concussions in football, how long it takes to remove athletes for them to heal any possible injuries completely, what and when coordination stages are appropriate before a safe return, and potential health risks related to these injuries.
The period an athlete should abstain from football after a concussion differs depending on the intensity of the injury (McCrea et al., 2021). However, not all of them are mild because the severity varies from case to case, and those with severe concussions may take months or even years to recover fully. Athletes must be symptom-free at rest and with exertion as per American Academy of Neurology guidelines before resumption. This normally consists of a gradual increase of exercises systematically, ensuring that any step is achieved without reoccurring symptoms.
As an example, I had a mild concussion in a high school football game, and I know that it is important to follow the right recovery channels. I was in a rush to the field and did not want to waste time; however, I adhered to the recommended procedures, which involved the resumption of physical activity stepwise. This strategy ensured that I was safe and would have no long-term effects.
