The study monitored 351 soccer players aged 11 to 14 years old from soccer clubs in Puget Sound, and recorded 59 concussions over the course of 43,742 athletic exposure hours. Calculated, this translates into a risk of suffering at least 1.2 concussions for every 1,000 hours that a female middle-school soccer player plays—roughly 11 full games.
Among the girls who suffered concussions during the course of the study, a little more than half continued to play, despite showing symptoms of concussion, and neglected seeking immediate medical attention.
