This article talks about the effects that Olympic level boxing has on the competitor's brains. It is said that the repeated blows to the head release brain injury markers to the brain fluid. Some of these markers are similar to that of the neurological disorder, Alzheimer's. Of all of the athletes that were examined and showed signs of these injuries, only one had experienced symptoms. These results are helping with the increased demands for concussion testing in athletes, in order to insure their health and safety.
