Concussed High School Athletes who Receive Neuropsychological Testing Sidelined Longer


Rosemont, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) December 29, 2010

When computerized neuropsychological testing is used, high school athletes suffering from a sports-related concussion are less likely to be returned to play within one week of their injury, according to a study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine. Unfortunately, concussed football players are less likely to have computerized neuropsychological testing than those participating in other sports.

A total of 544 concussions were recorded by the High School Reporting Information Online surveillance system during the 2008-2009 school year. Researchers looked at each of those instances to see what caused the injury, what sport was being played, what symptoms were experienced, what type of testing was used, and how soon the athletes returned to play. When looking at the causes and duration of concussions, the research found that:

McAnany Construction Upgrades Rockhurst High School Athletic Field with TigerTurf


Austin, Texas (Vocus/PRWEB) January 27, 2011

The Rockhurst High School football and soccer teams earned an unexpected bonus when the synthetic turf on their athletic field was replaced with TIGER XQ 48 by McAnany Construction: both teams won state championships, an achievement school leaders attribute in part to a higher quality field that increased player performance.

Rockhurst High School, a Jesuit preparatory school for boys headquartered in Kansas City, engaged McAnany Construction of Shawnee, Kansas, in July 2010 to replace the existing synthetic turf for its athletic field over a period of only 17 days. The Rockhurst field is used for football, soccer, lacrosse, and gym classes. By August, McAnany had completed the installation of 103,000 square feet of TIGER XQ 48. Athletes find that TIGER XQ 48 offers them the feel and playability of real grass. The artificial turf product is made of high quality yarn that offers better recovery and durability, which enables it to retain its integrity and deliver optimum performance for the life of the turf installation.

?We chose McAnany and TigerTurf because we were assured a very quick turn-around time for replacement of the old turf. We also knew they could complete a quality installation that included re-grading of the sub-surface. The TigerTurf product proved to be as durable as promised, and our coaches and players loved playing on it this past fall season. No doubt, it contributed to our state championships in both soccer and football!? explained Father Terrence A. Baum, S.J., president of Rockhurst High School.

Ed Huggins, vice president responsible for athletic fields and golf course renovation with McAnany Construction, served as the project manager for the Rockhurst High School project. Huggins explained that the Rockhurst High School Athletic Department chose McAnany and TigerTurf because of key competitive advantages. For example, McAnany and TigerTurf had the ability to complete the upgrades to the athletic field before the start of the Fall 2010 football season, whereas competitors had told school officials that the project would have to be done after the football season ended.

?McAnany had the resources to get the job done quickly and efficiently. We started in July and were finished in August,? Huggins said. ?TigerTurf was the best match for this project. We have worked with TigerTurf since 2008 and have built a solid relationship with the company. We knew the quality of TigerTurf?s product is very good. Because the McAnany family has had a long-standing relationship with Rockhurst High School, all of us working for the company had a vested interest in making sure this project went well.?

Project Details

Huggins explained that McAnany first had to extract the rubber infill from the existing athletic field. Next, the McAnany team removed the existing turf.

?What makes us unique is that instead of disposing the rubber infill, we recycled and reused 90 percent from the existing field. We also offered our customer the option to use a green rubber infill for the new field instead of using black infill. Also, we were able to salvage 80 percent of the turf from the old field to be used for other projects,? Huggins said, noting that Rockhurst High School saved 15 to 20 percent of the estimated total cost of the project due to the elimination of disposal costs and the ability to reuse the turf and infill.

?TigerTurf is thrilled to have provided Rockhurst High School with our premium athletic field surface ? especially since this is one of the State of Missouri?s premiere high school athletic programs. Because of its unique composition and characteristics, the TIGER XQ 48 system gives the Rockhurst Hawklets athletic program the ultimate, high performance athletic field in the country. The new TigerTurf field is one of the finest high school surfaces in the country and even better than that of most colleges, universities, and professional sports fields,? commented Bob Aurich, regional sales manager for TigerSports Americas, Inc.

Rory McIlroy has had a fantastic year in which he came away victorious at the 2011 US Open in impressive fashion. The 22 year old finished 16 under par and a eight shot victory over Jason Day. McIlroy, became the youngest to win the tournament since Bobby Jones in 1923.

In each sport whether it be basketball, football or baseball there is a player that is potentially past his prime, but continues to get hyped up as though he is at the peak of his career. At the top of his game Tiger Woods held the title as the number one ranked golfer in the world for a record 281 consecutive weeks, and has won a total of 14 major championsips, which is second only to Jack Nicklaus who leads with 18.

Woods is currently ranked 30th in the world, which is the lowest he has been since 1997. The 35 year is coming back from a achilles and knee injury he suffered in the third round of the Masters just a few short months ago.
