Based on these results, clinicians should feel con dent prescribing early aerobic exercise when treating adolescents with sports-related concussions. Early aerobic exercise when non-symptomatic can be the key to returning athletes to the eld and preventing persistent post-concussive symptoms longer than 28 days. This study does not suggest that aerobic exercise should be the only treatment in concussion rehabilitation.
These results of this study suggest that early aerobic exercise combined with traditional use of vestibular, balance and postural training may be bene cial in preventing post-concussive symptoms as well as returning athletes to sports. Clinicians should educate their patients on the e cacy of physical therapy intervention in the treatment of acute sports related concussions. It is important as clinicians that we feel con dent and can educate our patients on the ways to prevent a concussion as well as the proper way to recover from one.
