Evaluating a 12-week aerobic exercise intervention in adults with persisting post-concussive symptoms
A 12-week aerobic exercise intervention improves overall symptom burden, quality of life and specific symptom domains in adults with PPCS. Clinicians should consider prescription of progressive, individualized, sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise for adults with PPCS even if presenting with exercise intolerance and months-to-years of symptoms.
