Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Aerobic Training and Common Sport-Related Concussion Outcomes in Healthy Participants.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Aerobic exercise interventions are increasingly being prescribed for concussion rehabilitation, but whether aerobic training protocols influence clinical concussion diagnosis and management assessments is unknown.

Objective

To investigate the effects of a brief aerobic exercise intervention on clinical concussion outcomes in healthy, active participants.

Design

Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or other participants

Healthy (uninjured) participants (n = 40) who exercised ≥3 times/week.

Intervention(s)

Participants were randomized into the acute concussion therapy intervention (ACTIVE) training or nontraining group. All participants completed symptom, cognitive, balance, and vision assessments during 2 test
