concussions are also an issue outside of professional football. in a 2010 study by purdue university and indiana university, an estimated 43,000 to 67,000 football players suffer a concussion every season. however, because many injuries go unreported, the true number may exceed 100,000. the study, "detected cognitive impairment in high school football players without clinically diagnosed concussion", was published in 2013 in the "journal of neurotrauma" and observed 21 high school players throughout a season; it determined that even players who would not be diagnosed with a concussion based on their symptoms can display notable impairments via mris and verbal or cognitive testing, indicating that the current tests used on the sideline to assess concussions may not be adequate. a 2013 study by the national academy of sciences found that concussion rates in college football exceed those in any other sport, and that high school players have twice the risk of sustaining a concussion as collegiate players. the study found that, as reported by athletic trainers, college football players sustain 6.3 concussions for every 10,000 athletic exposures (meaning an individual practice or game), and the rate for high school football players is 11.2. the high school concussion figure is nearly double that of the next-highest sport, lacrosse. the study, funded by a $75,000 donation from the nfl to the centers for disease control foundation, also found that there is no evidence that newer helmet technology decreases the risk for concussions.
