The Role of Age, Sex, Body Mass Index, and Sport Type on the Dynamic Exertion Test in Healthy Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Our findings contribute to earlier evidence supporting the utility of objective exercise testing to inform medical clearance decision-making and may lead to multiple opportunities for future clinical research. 7,49,50 A potential next step of the EXiT is to examine previously concussed athletes at the latter stages (eg, sport-specific activity) of return to sport progression 3 or on resumption to unrestricted sport participation. In addition, clinical cognitive, balance, and ocular testing after structured exercise are suggested to improve the identification of unrecovered concussion that may be otherwise undetected under resting conditions.…”

Graded treadmill running protocol on dynamic visual acuity and balance for athletes with and without recent concussion history

“…Although there are numerous bene ts of moderate aerobic exercise on cognition and symptom recovery, vigorous intensity exercise may provoke a temporary increase in concussion-like symptoms for individuals without recent injury (Moran et al, 2020;Popovich et al, 2021;Whyte et al, 2022).…”
