“…Among preventive measures, banning playing ball with the head in schools should be included. It is also important to educate young athletes, so they respect the rules of fair play and don't use potentially dangerous playing techniques [8, 46,47]. In soccer it is crucial to use appropriate pads, select the equipment adjusted to the age of players and make sure that the size and inflation of the ball is proper, so that the frequency of head injuries is decreased.…”

Introduction and purpose. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a tauopathy caused by repetitive, mild head injuries. It is characterized by perivascular accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein in the neurons and astrocytes. CTE leads to changes in central nervous system, both on microscopic and macroscopic level. The aim of the study was to present the current knowledge on chronic traumatic encephalopathy among athletes, its predisposing factors, symptoms and consequences, as well as diagnostic methods and treatment.Description. CTE occurs among contact sport players, such as American football, ice hockey, soccer, baseball, box and MMA (mixed martial arts), as well as among soldiers and victims of domestic violence. Repetitive head injuries and long career duration increase the risk of CTE. Symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy include a commonly occurring triad: cognitive disturbances, behavioral problems and mood disturbances. Other symptoms include memory loss, parkinsonism, headaches, speech and walking problems. Currently, the only diagnostic method of CTE is a posthumous detection of neuropathological markers. Methods such as detection of exosomal tau protein in plasma and imaging techniques give hope to diagnose CTE in alive patients. Treatment methods of CTE, such as LIPUS (low intensity pulsed ultrasound) therapy are currently being developed.Conclusions. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy among athletes is a serious problem that affects multiple people due to the popularity of contact sports. Thus, an emphasis should be put on prevention, raising awareness and appropriate protection of athletes through changes in regulations and improvement of protective equipment.

OBJECTIVES 운동선수는 경기에 참여하는 동안 반복적으로 뇌진탕을 겪게 되는 특이한 상황에 놓여 있다. 하지만 이러한 반복적 뇌진탕 노출이 선수의 경기력과 은퇴 이후 건강에 부정적 영향을 미칠 위험이 높지만, 선수나 스포츠협회에서는 이에 대한 인지가 매우 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 리뷰의 목적은 스포츠에서 반복적으로 발생하고 있는 뇌진탕 문제를 해결하고자 이에 대한 기초정보를 알아보고, 뇌진탕 감소 전략을 위한 방안을 알아보는데 있다.METHODS 본 리뷰에서 활용한 연구 방법은 비체계적 문헌고찰(narrative review) 형식을 적용하였다. RESULTS 스포츠 관련 뇌진탕의 정의, 증상 및 증후, 2차충격증후군(second-impact syndrome), 뇌진탕에 따른 장기 후유증, 뇌진탕 감소와 안전모 착용 효과, 뇌진탕 후 스포츠로의 안전한 복귀를 위한 적절한 시점 등을 알아보았다.CONCLUSIONS 스포츠 현장에서 반복적으로 발생하고 있는 뇌진탕에 대한 인식부족과 이에 따른 선수 안전과 건강 이상 가능성에 대한 문제를 살펴보았다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 뇌진탕 감소 전략이 제안되었고, 뇌진탕 손상과 관련하여 선수, 코치, 부모 그리고 관련 스포츠 단체에서의 지속적인 관심이 요구되며, 뇌진탕 관련 기초 역학(epidemiology) 및 뇌 건강에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 절실히 필요해 보인다..
