About

Determine the safety and efficacy of sub-maximal aerobic exercise during the subacute phase of recovery following sport-related concussion.

Full description

The main objective of the proposed study is to determine is exercise during the first 3-7 days following a sport-related concussion can help improve the systemic neurological dysfunction following a concussion while examining the safety and efficacy of a 20-minute, low- to moderate-intensity (40-60% of HRMAX) controlled treadmill aerobic exercise as a therapeutic modality to improve cardiovascular, psychological, vestibulo-ocular, autonomic, and cognitive function.
