In boxing, women are still mandated to use protective headgear, a requirement that was removed for male competitors before the 2016 Rio Olympics. This change followed research indicating that male boxers were actually at a lower risk of concussions when competing without headgear. Since this specific study was only performed on men and has not been repeated for women, the regulation remains active for female athletes.
