New guidance for grassroots sport says concussed players will be advised not to work or drive a car.
Anyone with suspected concussion must be immediately removed from football, rugby and other sports and rest for at least 24 hours, under new guidance for grassroots clubs.
"But we need to recognise that if you've got a head injury, it must be managed and you need to be protected, so that it doesn't get worse."Concussion - a traumatic brain injury affecting mental function - can alter the way someone thinks, feels and remembers things.Effects are usually temporary and most people recover fully with rest.
Work to draw up new recommendations for all sports began after the death of Ben Robinson, 14, from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, in 2011, whoHis death had resulted from "second-impact syndrome", a rare condition where the brain swells rapidly after suffering multiple concussions in a short period of time, a coroner found."Concussion is a brain injury and all concussions are serious," he told BBC News.
The panel had had "big debates" about how long players should remain on the sidelines, amid concerns some may cover up or disguise the extent of their injuries, Prof Calder said.
