Concussions in Women’s College basketball

Women’s basketball is one of the top female sports that have the high risks of getting a concussion. With high competition comes a higher risk of injuries. College level sports can be very physical, especially women’s basketball. Concussions are associated with different activities. For women, they have a greater risk of getting a concussion by dribbling/ball handling rather than defending. Also it was found that female college basketball players typically receive concussions during games rather than practices(1).The reasoning for this could be that they are competing at a higher level, and are more aggressive in games than practices. Not only just in concussions, but for overall injuries.
