This is why i am an advocate for the hit system. It will give us detailed information about which position gets hit where. If we have a large database. Improving health and designed to react to information we got from that information. You, how muchask money has been spent on Sports Concussion Research . Where is the funding coming from . Unfortunately there is not an ,ssue our committee look that nor would we have had the resources to pull that out. Clearly, you can identify some research that is being done in the federal sector that applies to this. The private research that may be done by a sports leagues, by manufacturers of equipment to themselves, i dont know any good way to quantify that for you. I appreciate everybody being here. It is an important issue. We love our children going through sports. We love to watch. We dont want anybody to be hurt that should be hurt. Focuslly this increased will lead to better research, protection, and of course, prevention. Thank you very much
They act as a control over the course of the season. We are finding what occurs across the season in normal players with no history of concussion, their speed of processing does change over the four or five months of training and the season. With the players who experience concussion, we see a slowdown of about 200 milliseconds. That is four times faster than the slowdown in multiple sclerosis, for contrast. Clearly, the brain has changed the way it is processing. We are moving to start intervention programs with the players identified. There is some data with alzheimers that suggest working memory tasks, even one week, can show continual gain and improvements. We are trying to see some of that occurring. Thank you. Dr. Gay, in regard to concussions, many times it is not a direct blow. The head is going back and forth and the brain is sloshing around. You mentioned going back to 1970s type equipment. Describe what you mean by 1970s equipment and how it may reduce concussions. The neck
