Aerobic Exercise for Concussion

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Acute Brain Injury, Brain Concussion

In brief

The use of aerobic exercise treatment in the chronic phase of concussion recovery is well-described in the literature but there are limited existing data on the effect of exercise treatment in the acute phase after sport-related concussion (SRC). This study will compare the outcomes of adolescents with a recent SRC who are randomized to sub-threshold aerobic exercise versus those randomized to placebo stretching to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise in the acute recovery phase.
