[Introduction] Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is still one of the leading cause of disability and morbidity in the childhood. They include by traffic accident, abuse and other incidences. Among them, the sport-related TBI is also one of the important topics in Japan. In this presentation, the author will report the epidemiological features, therapeutic problems and protective measures on Judo-induced TBI in Judo players of the school students.
[Methodology] The data was collected from the record of National Agency for the Advancement of Sports and Health in the last 27years-from 1983 to 2009 in Japanese junior and senior high school students and analyzed concerning Judo players.
[Results] Review of the records revealed that an annual number of student dead were 4 cases. Among the 108 dead students, 64 (59.3%) were in the first grade of senior and junior high school.
