CONCUSSION KNOWLEDGE IN AMATUER MOTOCROSS by KRISTINA MILLER (Under the Direction of Thomas Buckley) ABSTRACT The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that there are 1.6-3.8 million sports- related traumatic brain injuries in the United States annually which occur in both mainstream and extreme sports. Many of these concussions have been associated with collisional sports, like football, but high risk extreme sports, like motocross, also have many opportunities for collisions to occur. Unlike traditional varsity sports motocross races, especially at the amateur level, do not require more than advanced life support at a race in case of emergency situation leaving the amateur rider to recognize and decide on concussion management. Purpose of this study is to assess concussion knowledge amongst motocross riders and to determine differences in knowledge based in demographic factors.
