Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise

Concussed participants will participate in a single 20' bout of treadmill walking at either 40% or 60% of the age-predicted HRmax.

Healthy participants will participate in a single 20' bout of treadmill walking at either 40% or 60% of the age-predicted HRmax.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
