Summary of the Results of the Neuropsychological and Neurological Evaluation

		Soccer players (n=11)	Athletic controls (n=14)	P value
ROCF	Immediate recall T-score	48.7 (11.0)	54 (15.8)	0.18
	Delayed recall T-score	47.8 (14.8)	55 (11.5)	0.20
TMT A	Score	102.6 (4.1)	100.6 (5.3)	0.32
TMT B	Score	108.4 (4.2)	107.4 (5.3)	0.63
BESS	Total score	17.6 (6.7)	18.6 (8.8)	0.77

There was no significant group difference for the following tests: ROCF (Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test; T-score, where a score between 40 and 60 is considered normal), TMT A and B (Trailmaking Test A and B; standard score, the higher the score the better; a score between 90 and 110 is considered normal), and BESS (Balance Error Scoring System; raw score, the higher the worse). All results are given as mean (standard deviation). P values obtained using two-sided Student's t test.
