Article Abstract
Objective: To determine if ADHD status in collegiate athletes was associated with differences in the number of diagnosed and nondisclosed sport-related concussions, and reasons why suspected concussive injuries were not reported.
Method: A cross-sectional survey was completed by 858 collegiate athletes (65 with ADHD; 793 without ADHD). The survey included self-report items regarding ADHD status and histories of diagnosed and nondisclosed sport-related concussions. Groups were matched for gender, age, and sport with a ratio of one participant with ADHD to four without ADHD.
Results: Collegiate athletes with ADHD reported significantly more diagnosed sport-related concussions and were more likely to have a history of diagnosis compared to those without ADHD. There were no significant differences between groups regarding sport-related concussion nondisclosure history.
Conclusion: Collegiate athletes with ADHD have an increased prevalence rate of diagnosed sport-related concussions compared to those without ADHD; however, this developmental disorder may not influence injury nondisclosure decisions.

Sports injury surveillance programs have been vital in advancing the understanding of injury epidemiology across various athlete populations. Surveillance-based epidemiological measures of injury occurrence are ubiquitous in the sports medicine literature, and the injury rate is one such commonly used measure. Traditional approaches to calculating injury rates have predominantly relied on frequentist methods, which, while informative, have limitations in addressing certain practical questions.

In Japan, many schools include kendo as part of the school physical education program. Farther afield, kendo also serves as a life-long method to improve and retain physical fitness and mental skills for adults of all ages around the world. Therefore, kendo has the potential to be an inexpensive public health modality if proven safe.

Measurable neuromotor control deficits during functional task performance could provide objective criteria to aid in concussion diagnosis. However, many tools which measure these constructs are unidimensional and not clinically feasible. The purpose of this study was to assess the classification accuracy of a machine learning model using features measured by a clinically feasible movement-based assessment system (Mizzou Point-of-care Assessment System (MPASS) between athletes with and without concussion.

This study analysed injury epidemiology and return to sport outcomes in Division I male and female collegiate basketball players. The authors hypothesise that ankle injuries are amongst the most common in this population and that there are similarly comparable injury rates between genders.
