Most of what we know about sports related head injuries comes from research on male athletes and these findings are applied to female athletes. However, research suggests that sports related head trauma is experienced differently among the sexes. The Female Behavior and Recovery After Injury and Neurotrauma (BRAIN) Project aims to highlight the risk factors and recovery variables exclusive to female athletes.
