To use a practical battery of eight neuropsychological tests for the detection of an association between amateur boxing and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
A controlled prospective neuropsychological study over a 15-18-month period.
Dublin, Ireland. March 1992 to September 1993.
Twenty experienced actively competing amateur boxers and 20 controls matched for age and socioeconomic status.
Participation in competitive amateur boxing and training.
Absolute scores, and changes in scores, in the neuropsychological tests.
At the end of the study period, the boxers performed significantly better then the controls in both the Trail-Making Tests A and B (TMT-A, TMT-B), whereas the control group's scores for the Finger Tapping Tests (FTT) were significantly higher than those of the boxers. The boxer's scores for the dominant-hand FTT showed a significant deterioration, but there was no association between this change and boxing exposure.
There was no evidence of neuropsychological impairment in the boxers as compared with socioeconomically, educationally and age-matched controls, and there was no association between boxing exposure and performances in any of the neuropsychological tests used. There is accumulating evidence that amateur boxing is not associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy but longer term prospective studies are needed.
运用一套由八项神经心理学测试组成的实用组合，检测业余拳击运动与慢性创伤性脑病之间的关联。
一项为期15至18个月的对照前瞻性神经心理学研究。
爱尔兰都柏林。1992年3月至1993年9月。
20名经验丰富、积极参赛的业余拳击手以及20名在年龄和社会经济地位上相匹配的对照组人员。
参与业余拳击比赛及训练。
神经心理学测试中的绝对分数及分数变化。
在研究期结束时，拳击手在连线测验A和B（TMT - A、TMT - B）中的表现显著优于对照组，而对照组在手指敲击测试（FTT）中的分数显著高于拳击手。拳击手优势手FTT的分数显示出显著下降，但这一变化与拳击运动经历并无关联。
与社会经济、教育程度和年龄相匹配的对照组相比，没有证据表明拳击手存在神经心理学损伤，并且在任何一项所使用的神经心理学测试中，拳击运动经历与测试表现之间均无关联。越来越多的证据表明业余拳击与慢性创伤性脑病并无关联，但仍需要进行长期的前瞻性研究。
