Science Café: Sports and Brain Injuries
What is the long-term impact of so-called "high-impact" sports, such as football and hockey, on the brains of athletes? Can coaches, doctors and and athletic programs make these sports safe - or safer - for athletes of all ages? Explore some interesting studies on concussions and sports impacts and discuss how these data may affect best practice, treatment and prevention. Join U-M Department of Kinesiology Professor Steven Broglio, Director of U-M's Neurosport Research Laboratory; Darryl Conway, Associate Athletic Director for Student Athlete Health and Welfare; and Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, Professor of Neurology in the U-M Medical School and Director of Michigan NeuroSport.
