To assess the effects of two sports-related concussions on neuropsychological functioning and symptom reporting, the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) was administered to 483 high school athletes. Three groups of athletes were determined based on the number of previous concussions: no concussion (n = 409), 1 concussion (n = 58), and 2 concussions (n = 16). The results showed that the three groups did not differ in terms of their ImPACT composite scores (Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, Reaction Time, and Processing Speed) and the Total Symptom Score. As there are only a few studies that have reported the sequelae of 2 concussions in high school athletes, it is premature to declare that a repeated concussion does not have persistent neurocognitive effects on high school athletes.
为评估两次与运动相关的脑震荡对神经心理功能和症状报告的影响，对483名高中运动员进行了脑震荡后即刻评估和认知测试（ImPACT）。根据既往脑震荡的次数确定了三组运动员：无脑震荡（n = 409）、1次脑震荡（n = 58）和2次脑震荡（n = 16）。结果显示，三组在ImPACT综合评分（言语记忆、视觉记忆、反应时间和处理速度）和总症状评分方面没有差异。由于仅有少数研究报告了高中运动员两次脑震荡的后遗症，因此现在宣称反复脑震荡对高中运动员没有持续的神经认知影响还为时过早。
