The issue of concussions is continuing to be a hot topic in the sports world and implementing a baseline program for our athletes is an excellent step to ensuring that all of them are able to return to play safely should they be injured.

AHU athletes will be undergoing a series of three tests on their team-specific day: the ImPACT® test, Bertec balance testing, and a vision test for saccadic eye movement. These tests evaluate the systems most commonly affected by concussion and give clinicians an idea of how the brain functions when healthy, in order to better determine when an athlete is back to normal following injury.

Testing is not required but it is HIGHLY recommended by the club and our coaches
