RE: ADSactly Sports - Getting your "Bell Rung": The growing issue of concussions in sports

in #sports6 years ago

I remember how it feels, after a sparring session your head starts to hurt and you start to get sick, an awful feeling. Thank you for raising the awareness

Oh, I didn’t even get to touch on boxing or MMA in this post. There has been so much research into the impacts of boxing on fighters. Just look at Mohammad Ali. Boxing had such a huge impact on his life after he retired.

in professional sports you pay with your health. The protection of the children is important here. Btw do football players do neck strengthening drills?

I am sure that there must be some neck strengthening done by most athletes. Although, a strong neck won't protect you from a concussion. It's all about the brain being jostled.

The thing is that specialized neck training helps dispersing the shock of tge impact better. That is a very common practice in martial arts that help to withstand impact better
