Eighty six amateur boxers underwent a series of neuropsychological assessments on three occasions--pre bout, immediate post bout and follow up within two years; 31 water polo players and 47 rugby union players acted as controls. The neuropsychological tests were selected as being sensitive to subtle cognitive dysfunction and formed part of a battery of other neurological and ophthalmic assessments. No evidence of neuropsychological dysfunction due to boxing was found, either following a bout or a series of bouts at follow up. None of a range of parameters including number of previous contests, recovery from an earlier bout, number of head blows received during a bout and number of bouts between initial assessment and follow up, were found to be related to changes in cognitive functioning.
86名业余拳击手在三个时间点接受了一系列神经心理学评估——赛前、赛后即刻以及两年内的随访；31名水球运动员和47名橄榄球联盟球员作为对照。所选神经心理学测试对细微的认知功能障碍敏感，是一系列其他神经学和眼科评估的一部分。在随访中，无论是一场比赛后还是一系列比赛后，均未发现拳击导致神经心理学功能障碍的证据。包括以往比赛次数、较早一场比赛后的恢复情况、一场比赛中头部受击次数以及初次评估与随访之间的比赛次数等一系列参数，均未发现与认知功能变化有关。
