Sports-related concussion is a major public health concern in pediatric athletics. Many states are passing or considering legislation to reduce concussions and injuries secondary to concussion. Concussions among youth athletes are underreported, which may be due to a lack of knowledge of the signs and symptoms of concussion or proper concussion management. We will provide brief synopses of current research on concussion knowledge as well as management and discuss possible applications to athletic training education.
