Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the neuropsychological functioning and symptoms of female and male high school athletes following a single concussion during the school year. The baseline test scores of the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) of 309 concussed athletes (169 females, 221 males) in varied sports were obtained. After a sport-related concussion, the athletes were re-administered the ImPACT, on the average, 7.25 days after the injury. MANCOVA compared the ImPACT baseline scores, post-concussion scores, and baseline-to-post-concussion changes of the female and male athletes, with p set at 0.01. The only significant sex comparison found females performing better on baseline visual motor speed (p < 0.001). Otherwise, no sex differences were found in baseline test scores, post-concussion scores, and baseline-to-post-concussion changes. The findings tentatively suggest that there are insignificant sex differences in the consequences of sport-related concussion after a week post-injury. Future studies on sex comparisons after a concussion are needed focusing on the acute and sub-acute phases of the recovery period.

高中运动员运动相关脑震荡后神经心理功能和报告症状的性别比较

本研究的目的是比较高中女运动员和男运动员在一年中发生一次脑震荡后的神经心理功能和症状。对309名不同运动项目的脑震荡运动员(女169名，男221名)进行脑震荡后立即评估和认知测试(ImPACT)的基线测试得分。在与运动有关的脑震荡后，运动员平均在受伤后7.25天重新进行ImPACT。MANCOVA比较了男女运动员的ImPACT基线得分、脑震荡后得分和基线到脑震荡后的变化，p值为0.01。唯一有意义的性别比较发现，女性在基线视觉运动速度上表现更好
