Eastbay and Axon Sports Partner to Raise Awareness of Sports-Related Concussions
WAUSAU, Wis., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of National Brain Injury Awareness Month, Eastbay and Axon Sports announce a partnership to increase awareness of sports-related concussions and the role of Baseline testing as part of an Athlete's overall preseason preparation.
This year, one in 10 Athletes will suffer a sports-related concussion, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That statistic is likely much higher given the number of head injuries that continue to go unrecognized and underreported.
Baseline testing is fast becoming a best practice for Athletes in an effective concussion management program. It is recognized by both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (1) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (2). As early as 2001, it was considered a "cornerstone" in concussion evaluation at the International Conference on Concussion in Sport (3).
The Axon Sports Computerized Cognitive Assessment Tool (CCAT) is used to measure an Athlete's brain speed and accuracy. An online Baseline test is taken before the sports season begins to provide a benchmark for comparison after a suspected concussion. The test measures brain function--attention, working memory, speed and accuracy in thinking. Results are stored and can be shared with Medical Providers to help them make return-to-play decisions.
"Eastbay strives to look out, and look ahead, for Athletes—to be a forerunner in providing what they need from head to toe," said Dowe Tillema, President and CEO, Eastbay. "Increasing awareness of Baseline tests among our loyal customers underscores Eastbay's commitment to support all Athletes and their athletic performance.
From recreational to competitive leagues; from basketball and football to cheerleading and skateboarding, to fully protect themselves, every Athlete should have access to affordable and convenient Baseline testing."
Axon Sports is redefining Baseline testing in the sports market as the first company to make tests broadly accessible, affordable, and convenient. The Axon Sports CCAT is available online. Athletes can complete a test in eight to 10 minutes. Test results are stored in secure accounts and can be used as a comparison tool should an Athlete suffer a concussion.
Parents can access the online data anytime and share it with their child's Doctor, Coach or Athletic Trainer, which is especially important as kids move from school sport to club sport and from team to team. Powered by CogState technology, the test has been used for more than 10 years internationally and at major U.S. universities. Now, U.S. Athletes as young as age 10 can use it as well.
"We are proud to join forces with Eastbay—a clear world leader in the sports market— to increase awareness of concussions and the proactive steps Parents, Coaches, Athletic Trainers, and Doctors can take to help safeguard the health of Athletes in their care.
Our aim is make Baseline tests accessible to all Athletes," said Polly James, Axon Sports president and CEO. "As we learn more about the dangers of concussions; as training and competitive play intensify, it's becoming clear that Baseline testing should be part of every Athlete's pre-season preparation."

Devin McCourty: Cover corner to cover model
When Devin McCourty was growing up in suburban New York, he’d snatch the Eastbay catalog out of the mailbox, bring it to school, and find a free moment. Just like all his friends, he’d circle the apparel he coveted.
“A lot of times I didn’t get everything I wanted — my mom used to say ‘no’ — but we’d pick out a bunch of different things,” McCourty told the Herald yesterday. “You could never get everything you wanted.”
He can now.
Life is a little different now for the Patriots [team stats] cornerback, a Pro Bowler as a rookie. With seven interceptions and a reputation as one of the NFL’s rising stars, his world has changed.
The latest example? McCourty recently concluded a photo shoot to be on the cover of Eastbay, and he left with an armful of merchandise.
“I got some pretty cool gear and stuff to work out in,” McCourty said. “This is definitely on the top of the list of things that’s happened to me so far. To think about all the different houses this magazine will be in, kids’ll be looking at the cover, I can’t even really describe it.”
The workout gear, of course, takes on added importance this season.
The NFL enters the third week of its lockout with escalating labor strife. Players are barred from working out in their team’s facilities, including Gillette Stadium.
No worries for McCourty.
The 2010 first-round pick spends his time at Rutgers, his alma mater, training with fellow Scarlet Knights stars such as Titans cornerback and twin brother Jason McCourty, Jaguars receiver Tiquan Underwood, and Bucs lineman Jeremy Zuttah. Current RU athletes who performed at their Pro Day are always around, too.
It’s not the same as offseason conditioning, but it’s close.
“It hasn’t been offseason with the team, but we’ve had quite a few guys,” McCourty said. “We’ve all just been working out here, looking at each other’s workouts and putting them together. It hasn’t been as bad as it could be, struggling to find somewhere to get good work.”
In addition to the weight-room activities, McCourty and his brethren have migrated between the hash marks for football drills.
“One good thing is we’ve been able to actually go on the field,” he said, “and do a couple one-on-ones and different things like that. We all came out of college like 1-3 three years apart. We’re all still fresh in the league, still getting after it.”
Last week at the NFL’s annual meetings, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked what expectation he had for his players returning from the lockout.
“All 32 teams are in the same boat,” Belichick said. “We’ll see them when we get back.”
