Discussion

Cross-sectional analysis shows cognitive impairments vary by sex and concussion history in high school and NCAA Division 1 athletes.

Female athletes experience longer recovery times post-concussion, indicating significant sex differences in cognitive performance.
Hierarchical regressions revealed that sex moderates the impact of concussion history on cognitive inhibition and impulsivity.
Athletes with a history of sport-related concussion showed reduced improvement in simple reaction time during testing.
Findings suggest tailored approaches in using cognitive assessment metrics for detecting deficits post-concussion based on sex.

Mingils et al. (2025) studied this question.
