In the past two decades, there has been a revolution in literature relating to the epidemiology, aetiology, early recognition, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of sports-related concussion (SRC). This research has resulted in the publication of five international concussion in sport consensus statements.1 Are those recommendations impacting on pitch-side rulings and contributing to the real-life management of SRC? We ask: ‘Is evidence-based SRC information reaching those it concerns the most, i.e. the athletes?’2 Within alpine ski racing, SRC is the most frequent head injury.3 The International Ski Federation (FIS) has established SRC return-to-play guidelines,4 but athletes aim to dodge the guidelines by under-reporting their symptoms (eg, persistent headache, blurred vision),5 possibly resulting in premature return to sport. Besides this, athlete adherence to such guidelines may be impeded by insufficient understanding of the potential long-term consequences of SRC (eg, increased risk of reinjury, prolonged recovery from subsequent concussions, mild cognitive impairment or depression). To better understand alpine ski racing athletes’ perceptions, beliefs and experiences of concussion, we conducted a qualitative interview study with 11 participants. These 11 participants were representatives from a world-leading ski association comprising 88 athletes. The underlying …

滑雪运动员对与运动相关的脑震荡及其管理的理解：当代研究结果和临床建议是否能够达到目标受众，即运动员本身？

在过去的二十年中，与运动相关脑震荡 (SRC) 的流行病学、病因学、早期识别、预防、诊断和治疗相关的文献发生了一场革命。这项研究导致在体育共识声明中发表了五项国际脑震荡。1 这些建议是否会影响场边裁决并有助于 SRC 的实际管理？我们问：“以证据为基础的 SRC 信息是否能够传达给它最关心的人，即运动员？”2 在高山滑雪比赛中，SRC 是最常见的头部损伤。3 国际滑雪联合会 (FIS) 已经建立了 SRC 返回到- 比赛指导方针，4 但运动员的目标是通过少报他们的症状（例如，持续性头痛、视力模糊）5 来逃避指导方针，这可能导致过早恢复运动。除此之外，由于对 SRC 的潜在长期后果（例如，再次受伤的风险增加、随后脑震荡的恢复时间延长、轻度认知障碍或抑郁症）的理解不足，运动员遵守此类指南可能会受到阻碍。为了更好地了解高山滑雪运动员对脑震荡的看法、信念和经历，我们对 11 名参与者进行了定性访谈研究。这 11 名参与者是来自世界领先的滑雪协会的代表，该协会由 88 名运动员组成。底层… 根据脑震荡的信念和经历，我们对 11 名参与者进行了定性访谈研究。这 11 名参与者是来自世界领先的滑雪协会的代表，该协会由 88 名运动员组成。底层… 根据脑震荡的信念和经历，我们对 11 名参与者进行了定性访谈研究。这 11 名参与者是来自世界领先的滑雪协会的代表，该协会由 88 名运动员组成。底层…
