Individuals should play non-contact sports or activities to avoid instances of head collisions. If contact games cannot be avoided, consider the incorporation of neck strengthening physical activity into training, learning proper techniques to prevent frequent head impacts, and discourage aggressiveness while in practice and during games.

These prevention measures will significantly save you from suffering from concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Also, in case a head injury occurs, have close monitoring done on you and further seek medical assistance to avoid future complications. Besides, the playfields should be carefully examined for the detection of different spots to prevent the occurrence of future injuries.
