Sway Concussion Assessment Tool

What is Sway?

Beginning this year, Two Rivers High School Athletics will be using a new concussion management software called "SWAY". This will replace our use of the "ImPACT" program, which we have utilized in the past.

Sway combines objective balance measures as well as cognitive measures to support healthcare professionals in performing accurate and informed evaluations using one’s own mobile device.

Sway, like ImPACT collects key measurements in concussion management such as:

● Memory

● Reaction Time

● Impulse Control

● Inspection Time

Group baseline testing will be conducted with each team at the beginning of the season

If you do not own a smart mobile device or cannot download the Sway app, we will provide a means of baseline testing for you.

Nutrition for the Athlete

​

• NSCA guidelines recommend 17-23 calories/pound of bodyweight for highly active athletes (150 pounds x20 calories= 3000 calories per day)
• Remember, everyone’s a little different and you will have to find the right amount for you!
• Macronutrients
• Carbohydrates- 3 grams/pound of body weight per day (3 grams x 150 pounds =450 grams of carbs/day
• Provide the primary source of energy for working muscles
• Eat more during the season when you are training hard
• Protein- .75 grams of protein/pound of body weight per day (150 pounds= about 112 grams of protein/day)
• Builds/maintain/repair muscle
• Especially important during your competitive season
• Fat- 25-35% total energy intake
• body’s primary fuel for exercises of longer duration and moderate intensity
• Fluids
• Necessary to cool the body and are quickly lost through sweating
• Average fluid intake per day- half of your body weight in ounces

Nutrient Timing

• Before activity
• Fluids, especially water
• Carbohydrate rich; small amount of protein; low in fat
• Experiment with foods and drinks in practice to determine the best timing and your tolerance for pre-exercise foods
• During activity
• Fluids, carbohydrate, and electrolyte to replenish sweat loss
• After activity (consume within 30 minutes post activity)
• Restore fluid and electrolyte lost in sweat
• Replace muscle fuel utilized during exercise- carbs
• Repair damaged muscle tissue- protein
• Fast digesting meal/protein shake that contains ration 4:1 carb:protein (chocolate milk)
