Aerobic Exercise in Fanwood May Help Adolescent Athletes Recover from Concussions

Among a group of 103 adolescents who experienced a sport-related concussion, researchers observed that participants who followed an aerobic exercise program that didn't exacerbate symptoms took an average of 13 days to recover compared with 17 days for teens in a control group.

First author Dr. John J. Leddy explains, "This research provides the strongest evidence yet that a prescribed, individualized aerobic exercise program that keeps the heart rate below the point where symptoms worsen is the best way to treat concussion in adolescents."
