Problem
Current media attention has exposed the serious impact of sports-related head impact collisions, with 269 players currently suing governing bodies for failing to protect them from brain injuries during their playing careers. This neglect is known to be even more damaging for women, given that 80% of concussion research is focused on men.
​
Minimal research that has included women found that women could experience more severe, distinct and longer-lasting symptoms following a concussion, which current guidance does not account for.
