“…26,27,[35][36][37] One test implemented in many studies and used as a form of assessment to find a target HR for exercise treatment without exacerbating symptoms is the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT). 35,36,38 This test consists of gradually increasing the intensity by increasing the treadmill's incline. 36 One test by Leddy et al utilized an altered version of the BCTT by using a stationary bike instead of a treadmill and increasing intensity by increasing the bike's resistance, demonstrating similar results.…”

Sports-related concussions (SRC) are a common injury among athletes. Despite our growing understanding of concussion pathophysiology, comprehensive rehabilitation programs remain a clinical challenge. The accepted view of SRC rehabilitation emphasizes physical and cognitive rest. However, some conflicting studies report rest may facilitate prolonged symptoms. In this review article, we report on alternative SRC rehabilitation strategies to address the complex symptom variations, including physical activity, neuro-visual training, vestibular training, music therapy, speech-language therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy. The mass of published works supports the utility of these alternative therapies to aid recovery, but more research is vital to clarifying these relationships. In this review, we explore the relationships between symptoms and therapies. As there is a growing body of evidence to support these alternative therapies, many questions remain when concerning the role these alternative methods play in the bigger picture of standardizing a thorough SRC rehabilitation program.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the cerebral physiologic response to aerobic exercise in individuals with a symptomatic concussion, highlighting available knowledge and knowledge gaps in the literature. Design: A systematic scoping review was conducted and reported in keeping with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. A search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, BIOSIS, and Cochrane libraries was conducted on June 15, 2023 (from database inception). An online systematic/scoping review management system was used to remove duplicates, and the remaining articles were screened for inclusion by 2 researchers. Inclusion criteria required articles to be original research published in peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, studies were required to have an aerobic exercise component, include a measure of cerebral physiology during a bout of aerobic exercise, exclude moderate and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) populations, and be in the English language. Both human and animal studies were included, with participants of any age who were diagnosed with a mild TBI/concussion only (ie, Glasgow Coma Scale score ≥ 13). Studies could be of any design as long as a measure of cerebral physiologic response to a bout of aerobic exercise was included. Results: The search resulted in 1773 articles to be screened and data from 3 eligible studies were extracted. Conclusions: There are currently too few studies investigating the cerebral physiologic response to aerobic exercise following concussion or mild TBI to draw definitive conclusions. Further research on this topic is necessary since understanding the cerebral physiologic response to aerobic exercise in the concussion and mild TBI populations could assist in optimizing exercise-based treatment prescription and identifying other targeted therapies.
