Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
First of all, we would like to pay tribute to all those fighting COVID-19.
This global issue has postponed this year's Olympics, and we are confident that next year we will have a great event in Tokyo. At the Olympics, World Cup, and various sporting events, the great success of athletes has become a hot topic, but at the same time the injury of athletes unfortunately occurs. In particular, sports-related neurological diseases have recently received a significant amount of attention. The diagnosis, treatment, and management of sports-related concussion in the short term; the impact of repeated concussion on chronic traumatic encephalopathy and degenerative diseases in the long term; and the effect of repeated head shock, such as heading, in young age groups are recognized as topics.
From this perspective, the Special Issue seeks to contribute to the field by presenting the most relevant advances in this research area.
Dr. Haruo Nakayama
