[2020·ÆÕͨ¸ßµÈѧУÕÐÉúÈ«¹úͳһ¿¼ÊÔ(Ä£Äâ¾í)]Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions—serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.

“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk£¬” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr., M. D£®£¬ in a statement.

The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age­specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for athletes who have concussions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (´´É˵Ä) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (­¹Ç). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.

The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation­related activities occur in the U£®S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA's new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.
