ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to identify whether physical fitness influences outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans and animals, and to highlight any knowledge gaps in the current literature. A search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, BIOSIS, and Cochrane Libraries was performed on December 4, 2023 (from database inception), and a systematic scoping review of the resulting literature was conducted. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews was used for reporting the results.
