A purposeful sample of athletic trainers employed in secondary schools was requested to complete an online survey (1,124 of 3,943 [28.5% response rate]). Most athletic trainers (968 of 1,112 [87.1%]) reported having a written concussion management policy, which included background information (883 of 968 [91.2%]), immediate treatment (902 of 968 [93.2%]), and return to play criteria (933 of 968 [96.4%]). Strongest predictive variables of an existing concussion policy included athletic trainers who were: primarily paid via school/ district (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1,95% confidence interval [Cl] = 1.4 to 3.3), hired full-time (OR = 1.7,95% Cl = 1.1 to 2.7), and evaluation of more concussions annually (OR = 1.6,95% Cl = 1.3 to 2.0). Employment characteristics may influence the existence of a concussion management policy; however, additional research is needed to understand athletic trainers' ability to navigate school systems and implement a school-based concussion policy.

The time to reach the peak values for the lateral non-tackle side and tackle side peaks after coming into contact with the tackle machine, as well as the gap between the two peaks (amplitude time) were analyzed. In comparing student grade, the amplitude time of a right Power Foot Tackle of third grade students was significantly shorter than that of first grade students. Regarding differences between left and right tackles, the amplitude time of a right Diving Tackle was significantly shorter than the left side tackle. Differences in the timing of head movements were thought to have been determined by the skill level and shoulder effectiveness of the tackles. Topics for the future study include measurement of head acceleration in a state approximating that of actual motion, point of contact, verification of training, etc. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},
