Investigating Persistent Sympathovagal Dysregulation Following a Complex Dual Task in Concussed Athletes
The dual task results indicate potential competing mechanisms between the motor and cognitive components of the task, which future studies using similar protocols should consider. Meanwhile, the switch task appears sufficiently demanding to reveal autonomic alterations, which, when measured through HRV, may constitute a relevant clinical tool for assessing athletes' readiness to return to sport and academic study.
