Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a year or more time in-between the collegiate athletes' first initial baseline concussion test scores and their new baseline concussion test scores. To try to prove that collegiate athletes' baseline test results from freshmen year are not the same as their baseline test scores there senior year of college. So, what they thought was their baseline is not actually their true baseline later on in their college years. The imPACT test would be administered every year to gather a more accurate baseline for the collegiate athletes to better increase their time to return to play.
