Abstract
Due
to the striking nature of combat sports like boxing, it is associated with a
high risk for acute traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) as well as chronic
neurological sequelae of multiple head impact exposures such as chronic
traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Polices such as the Ref Flag Policy were
formulated to protect the health and ensure safety of combatants.
