Arkansas' creation and implementation of health and safety legislation utilizing ambrosés requirements for change

摘要

The health and safety of young athletes has been an area of concern for parents, coaches, administrators, athletic trainers, and other health care professionals for years. Every year, young athletes pass away while playing high school sports. Figure 1 provides an overview of the deaths, broken into 5-year blocks (8). These deaths encompass all deaths, including those from cardiac pathologies, head injuries, exertional heat stroke (EHS), trauma, and more (8). More recently, this issue has become an area of concern for policy makers and legislators, as evidence continues to suggest many of these deaths could have been prevented with proper prevention, assessment, and treatment (1).
