TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Programmed physical exertion in recovery from sports-related concussion: a randomized pilot study JO - Developmental neuropsychology A1 - Maerlender, Arthur A1 - Rieman, Wanda A1 - Lichtenstein, Jonathan A1 - Condiracci, C. SP - 273 EP - 278 VL - 40 IS - 5 N2 - Although no data exist, general practice recommends only rest following concussion. This randomized clinical trial found that programmed physical exertion during recovery produced no significant differences in recovery time between groups of participants. However, high levels of exertion were deleterious. This study provides initial evidence that moderate physical activity is a safe replacement behavior during recovery.
