Abstract
The majority of research on sport-related concussions is conducted on male athletes. The paucity of research focused on female athletes creates a challenge in developing protocols for prevention and treatment of female athletes with concussions. This paper reviews the current epidemiology, injury mechanisms and treatment of concussions in female athletes. Theories on sex-based differences in sport-related concussions are presented. Areas for future research are also reviewed.
