Hello all-

Thank you for your continuous support and patience as we finish this research. The project has many variables in which we have been performing statistical analysis to provide the most accurate results. We're aiming to receive Marshall University approval for publication by the end of the summer. When this is complete, I'll be able to provide the full paper which includes the literature review, methods of research, statistical analysis, and results related to participant demographics, recoil, and protein variation related to TBI.

Please check back in the upcoming months for further updates and (hopefully) the results!

About This Project

Sport concussion is currently a widely researched topic. Shooting sports do not impose a direct blow to the head but inflict rapid accelerations to the brain via recoil transfer. Repetitive gunshot recoil can impose neurometabolic change resulting in concussion like symptoms or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The impact of recoil on TBI is not determined. Evaluating brain specific blood biomarkers can contribute to neuroscience research in shooting sports, law enforcement and military.

Blast off!
