Avoiding and recovering from concussion, and even lessening the long-term brain damage it can cause, could be as simple as doing some eye movement exercises.
University of Otago biomechanics PhD student Fateme Mirzaee said concussion in contact sport was a contentious issue and represented a growing proportion of injuries sustained by athletes worldwide.
Motorsport was no exception, but research has already shown competitive drivers have higher-performing eye skills which can process the surrounding visual information much quicker than most people.
