The National Center for Catastrophic<br />

Sports Injury Research: 160 SCD (78%<br />

from cardiac causes) in high school <strong>and</strong><br />

college sports (1983-1993).<br />

The estimated death rate of male athletes<br />

was 5-fold higher than for female athletes<br />

(7.47 versus 1.33 per 1000000 athletes per<br />

year)<br />

basketball or football (65%)<br />

Interestingly, male college athletes had<br />

twice the estimated death rate of their high<br />

school counterparts (14.5 versus 6.6 per<br />

1000000 athletes per year).
