  • Summary

  • Head injuries and sports players have been a hot topic of debate in recent years.

    While the risk of concussions and long-term injuries has been well known for decades, recent concerns have arisen about how those injuries can turn into long term issues like dementia, and that’s despite efforts to reform the game to limit those concerns.

    As global legal cases and suspected illnesses mount, multiple researchers here in New Zealand are part of a global effort to identify the causes and the risks.

    Today on The Front Page, we speak with two of them from the University of Auckland – Professor Maurice Curtis and Dr Helen Murray – about the latest research in this high concern area.

    You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
