What is considered a subconcussive hit? is it any hit to the head, even really light ones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head injury: The most recent term is minimal traumatic brain injury. Essentially even minor injury can cause some mild trauma to the brain. Usually micro bruises. This can cause mild symptoms, but not as bad as a concussion.
