This report analyzes a science article focusing on concussions in children and adults, drawing from sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and other scientific journals. The report examines the impact of concussions, the importance of proper recovery, and the potential consequences of returning to activity too soon. It reviews the findings of a news article from Science Daily, comparing its insights with other research and questioning the veracity of certain claims. The report highlights the significance of the issue, referencing studies that indicate the need for further research into concussion management and emphasizes the importance of monitoring symptoms and following appropriate guidelines to ensure the safety of individuals, particularly children and adolescents, involved in sports and other activities.

SCIENCE ARTICLE 2
Part 1
The research is a clinical based report on Sport-Related Concussion affecting Children
and Adults. Referenced source is reliable and trusted. The goal of the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) is dedicating their efforts and resources for the benefit of children,
infants, youths, and adults (Halstead et al. 2015). The purpose is ensuring quality
healthcare, and safety of the population. The journal is an official peer-reviewed article
because its information gets updated often and is located in the world wide web.
Part 2
. The ideas captured in the new blog are almost similar to scientific facts presented in the
source journal. However, science daily news has captured specifically children injuries to
meet targeted groups and satisfy specific readers.
I had contrary thoughts concerning injuries during the recommended period of rest is
longer as well as the consequences and impacts, are unbearable. It is difficult for
Americans to buy research finding that about 58% of children experience concussion
symptoms after participating in exercises within first week of injury (News article from
Science Daily, 2016).
Part 3

SCIENCE ARTICLE 3
The news blog argues that “Complete having a rest until symptoms go after concussions
does not guarantee recovery (News article from Science Daily, 2016).” According to
study findings, a news report revealed that individuals who joined exercises within a
week after head injury encountered persistent acquires concussions after one month.
These findings are supported by other scientific findings that state that returning to sports
activities after injury should involve using a progressive exercises program while
monitoring, and evaluating repeating signs and symptoms.
To the author of the news article, I would ask if the reported information is altered for
personal or site interests?
Concluding Questions
In conclusion, according to the research study, high blood pressure and heart attack rates
have significant statistical values. Such incidences are associated with blood pressure
illnesses. Reporters have exaggerated some information such as “as many as 50% of the
concussions may go unreported” however, detailed studies are required to prove the
research findings as well as determining appropriate time for returning to play following
players concussions (Harmon, et al. 2013).
