FORMER TEAM SPORT ATHLETES’ EXPERIENCES OF THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SPORT-RELATED CONCUSSION

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
This study presents the results of a phenomenological qualitative analysis of former team sport athletes’ experiences of physical and psychological effects of sport-related concussion. Concussions have become increasingly prevalent in sport and knowledge surrounding the injury has become more available. Most research on sport-related concussions has focused on return to play and the physiological aspects of the injury; however, concussed individuals may also suffer psychological symptoms. Former athletes are experiencing health issues due to the physical and psychological nature of this injury. This study sought to add to this literature by exploring what physical and psychological effects former high school/collegiate team sport athletes experienced because of a sport-related concussion and the meanings they make of (how they experienced) these physical and psychological effects of a sport-related concussion.
