PRESENTATION OUTLINE
CONCUSSIONS
A CONCUSSION IS WHEN YOU HIT YOUR
HEAD SO HARD THAT IT TEMPORARILY CHANGES HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS.
THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN
GETS HIT SO HARD THAT IT BUMPS AGAINST THE HARD BONE OF YOUR SKULL.
SYMPTOMS OF A CONCUSSION ARE, BAD HEADACHES, NOT BEING ABLE
TO STAND UP, MEMORY LOSS, MESSED UP SPEECH, AND BLURRED VISION.
CONCUSSIONS CAN HAPPEN JUST AS EASILY AS HITTING YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND OR
JUST HITTING YOUR HEAD REALLY HARD ON THE WALL.
SIGNS OF A CONCUSSION HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST
7 TO 10 DAYS AND SHOULD GO AWAY BY 3 MONTHS (AT MOST).
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
CONCUSSION PROBLEMS WITH RETIRED NFL PLAYERS.
NEARLY 1 THIRD OF THEM ARE LOSING THEIR MEMORY AND GETTING
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE BECAUSE OF CONCUSSIONS FROM THE NFL.
FOR HIGH SCHOOL WOMEN, SOCCER CAUSES
THE MOST CONCUSSIONS OF ANY SPORT.
FOR HIGH SCHOOL MEN,
IT IS FOOTBALL.
CONCUSSIONS MAKE UP 2-3% OF INJURIES IN
MEN'S SOCCER. THIS IS THE SAME PERCENTAGE AS FOOTBALL.
THE MOST COMMON WAY THAT CONCUSSIONS HAPPEN IN SOCCER
IS WHEN ONE PLAYER'S HEAD HITS ANOTHER PLAYER'S HEAD.
SOMETIMES
YOU CAN ALSO GET A CONCUSSION FROM HEADING THE BALL TOO MUCH.
A TOTAL NUMBER OF CONCUSSIONS FROM
SPORTS AND RECREATION PER YEAR COULD BE AS HIGH AS 3.8 MILLION.
9 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE WHO GET A CONCUSSION
DON'T LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS.
CONCUSSIONS CAN PUT YOU IN A BAD MOOD AND
MAKE YOU ACT WEIRD FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.
