What the study reports
A survey of concussion knowledge and behaviour across mixed martial arts, boxing and kickboxing participants, finding gaps between what athletes know and what they do.
The PROMACHOS reading
The gap between knowing and acting is an instruction problem. PROMACHOS treats head-injury protocol as a standard enforced by faculty rather than a decision left to the injured student.
This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
