Summary

Adult equestrian athletes show high knowledge of concussion but gaps exist in guideline awareness and helmet safety behaviors. Targeted education is crucial to improve concussion recognition and management in this group.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Concussion awareness and management are critical in equestrian sports due to potential for serious injury.
  • Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) of adult equestrian athletes regarding concussion is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of adult equestrian athletes concerning concussion.
  • To identify specific areas for educational improvement in concussion management within the equestrian community.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide, cross-sectional online questionnaire study was conducted.
  • 1486 adult equestrian athletes completed the survey, which assessed concussion knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
  • Statistical analyses explored differences in knowledge based on demographics and experience.

Main Results:

  • High knowledge (>80%) of concussion definition and symptoms was reported, but moderate awareness (56%) of guidelines and low understanding (12%) of helmet limitations.
  • Females demonstrated significantly higher concussion knowledge than males.
  • While most athletes (87%) believed helmets should be replaced after a fall, 46% reported reusing them after impact.

Conclusions:

  • Adult equestrian athletes possess generally positive knowledge and attitudes towards concussion but exhibit specific knowledge gaps and behavioral inconsistencies.
  • Targeted educational campaigns are needed to enhance concussion awareness, recognition, and management, particularly regarding helmet safety and injury mechanisms.
  • Improving understanding of concussion guidelines and promoting safer behaviors are vital to minimize injury risk in equestrian sports.
