" We&amp;#039;ve come a long way since the days of leather football helmets. And while some fans may still long for football&amp;#039;s rough-and-tumble days of yore, almost no one would object to reducing the risk of concussion for young athletes. A recently completed three-year study at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center tracked more than 2000 high school football players and found that new helmet designs may reduce the incidence of concussion. The Pitt researchers found that players who wore the newer Riddell Revolution helmet were 31 percent less likely to sustain a concussion than those wearing traditional helmets. The difference in recovery times for both groups, however, was negligible. The study\u2013which, it should be noted, was funded by Riddell\u2013will be published in the February issue of the journal Neurosurgery.\u2013John Matson "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
