Abstract Summary
This study tracked concussions and head impacts with helmet-mounted accelerometers over one high school football season and found that the weeks in which concussions occurred resulted in increased time spent on scrimmaging (a type of practice which simulates games) compared to other drills. These weeks also resulted in greater 95th percentile linear impacts in games.
