You are wrong about this. I get up from the couch not only to retrieve the remote but also to go to the refrigerator, which is in another room and therefore counts as serious exercise. Injuries in football may well be underestimated because players are encouraged to keep on playing, even after sustaining concussions (although there has been some improvement over the last few years in how these injuries are treated, according to what I read). Football is more injurious to the body than in your example, of bad backs and elbows among golfers. As far as boxing is concerned, the risk of head injury is obvious, but I think the NFL has a bad record in failing to acknowledge the high incidence of brain damage in both current and former football players. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : I agree with Doug on this.

You should really get a fitbit watch if you don't already have one. Injuries in football may well be underestimated because players are encouraged to keep on playing, even after sustaining concussions (although there has been some improvement over the last few years in how these injuries are treated, according to what I read). Football is more injurious to the body than in your example, of bad backs and elbows among golfers. As far as boxing is concerned, the risk of head injury is obvious, but I think the NFL has a bad record in failing to acknowledge the high incidence of brain damage in both current and former football players. Actually, part of the scandal of football would be if the public knew how much medication is given to numb the pain so the players can continue to play. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : I agree with Doug on this.

Even golfers (which I don't consider a sport) have bad backs and elbows. Football is no more or less injurious to the body. Try boxing if you think football is bad for head injury.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Outstanding!
Would love to see two NFL teams square off in a game of "touch" football! LOL. Saw part of a rugby game recently and wondered why they weren't wearing helmets. Here's the scoop on that, from an article in the Guardian: "While American football may be a niche interest in the UK, rugby is often seen as similarly dangerous – so should David Cameron be as worried as President Obama? Not according to Jim McKenna, a professor of physical activity and health at Leeds Metropolitan University http://www.leedsmet.ac.uk/carnegie/22CE029EB9B946D38188B9DA0C1CA52E.htm (and a rugby coach). He points out that American footballers tackle with their heads, butting each other in a way seldom seen in rugby. "They butt the opposition and their head is the tip of the missile, with an enormous body of weight behind them," says McKenna. Meanwhile, the helmets and padding the US sportsmen wear can actually make the situation worse, he thinks, encouraging them to use more force. In rugby it is spinal injuries from scrums that are the most dangerous (110 rugby players in Britain have been paralysed by playing the game http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/children_shealth/8752872/Tackling-rugby-safety-issues-head-on.html). Allyson Pollock, a professor of public health, says that she is very worried about amateur rugby players, and especially children. Coaches, she says, are not properly trained to look out for the signs of concussion or taught how to deal with it – although it can have serious problems for children's learning and cognitive functions. She would like to see large-scale studies of the effects of such injuries, and says the sport establishment needs to think carefully about tackles. In 2010, she called for scrums to be banned after a study found that 190 rugby matches at Scottish schools resulted in 37 injuries.

Injuries in football may well be underestimated because players are encouraged to keep on playing, even after sustaining concussions (although there has been some improvement over the last few years in how these injuries are treated, according to what I read).

As far as boxing is concerned, the risk of head injury is obvious, but I think the NFL has a bad record in failing to acknowledge the high incidence of brain damage in both current and former football players. For sure, football is brutal in so many ways. These guys are sacrificed out there. The knees, the brains, the whole thing. Feed them terrible diets, pump them full of steroids and unleash them out there to have their bodies pummeled. I have yet to see the movie "Concussion".

There is a new protocol for head injuries. Players suspected of a concussion are immediately pulled from the game and put under the care of an outside neurologist. Only the neurologist can release them to return to practice after a series of tests.
