With the increased conditioning, size, and speed of professional athletes and the increase in individuals engaging in sports and recreational activities, there is potential for rising numbers of traumatic brain injuries in sports. Fortunately, parallel strides in basic research technology and improvements in computer and video technology have created a new era of discovery in the study of the biomechanical aspects of sports-related head injuries. Although prevention will always be the most important factor in reducing the incidence of sports-related traumatic brain injuries, ongoing studies will lead to the development of newer protective equipment, improved recognition and management of concussions on the field of play, and modification of rules and guidelines to make these activities safer and more enjoyable.
随着职业运动员体能、体型和速度的增强，以及参与体育和娱乐活动的人数增加，体育赛事中创伤性脑损伤的数量有可能上升。幸运的是，基础研究技术的同步进步以及计算机和视频技术的改进，开创了体育相关头部损伤生物力学研究的新纪元。尽管预防始终是降低体育相关创伤性脑损伤发生率的最重要因素，但正在进行的研究将推动新型防护装备的研发、提高在比赛场地对脑震荡的识别和处理能力，以及修改规则和指南，以使这些活动更安全、更有趣。
