The non-invasive, non-academic test is set up in a “computer game” format and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Throughout the test, Impact tracks and records the student-athlete’s memory, reaction time, speed, and concentration.<\/p>\n Upon suffering a suspected head injury, the student-athlete may then retake the Impact Test and bring both sets of data to their primary care physician or equivalent for diagnosis. (Belchertown High School staff members do not diagnose concussions, but may hold a student-athlete out of participation in the event that the student-athlete sustains a head injury.)
