abstract = {Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been identified as a risk factor for concussion or delayed recovery. However, these recommendations are often based on anecdotal or limited evidence. This critically appraised topic aimed to address the clinical question of whether a premorbid diagnosis of ADHD increases the risk for a concussion and prolonged symptoms. A search strategy using PICO terminology related to the clinical question was conducted in several electronic databases. Seven studies were identified and five met the inclusion criteria. The clinical bottom line suggests there is moderate evidence to support the relationship between patients who are diagnosed as having ADHD and the incident rate of concussion, as well as a prolonged recovery time. The findings of this critically appraised topic suggest strength of recommendation of grade B to support that ADHD is a risk factor for concussion and a predictor of prolonged recovery.

abstract = {Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure concussion knowledge and awareness of youth Australian Rules Football players and parents. Secondary aims were examining if player's maturity in age, history of concussion and years played and parents who have undergone first aid and concussion training would increase knowledge. Methods: 1,441 parents and 284 youth ARF players completed a 23-item concussion knowledge survey consisting of three areas: concussion symptoms, management, and return-to-play criteria. Results: There was significant difference in knowledge of concussion management and return-to play criteria between players and parents (p= less than 0.01). Players age, years played and history of concussion did not increase knowledge, however, parents with concussion training had significantly higher scores than those without (p= less than 0.01). Some return-to-play criteria and signs and symptom not thought to be associated with concussion such as disturbed sleeping and difficulty studying were difficult for both groups to associate as related to concussion. Conclusions: Future concussion education opportunities for player and parents need to focus on return-to-play criteria and uncommon signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and problems studying. Applications in sport: The findings reflect certain areas that need to be incorporated into educational opportunities for players and parents, especially those who have limited access to qualified health care professionals such as ATC's. Although there is minimal evidence supporting concussion educational opportunities, awareness and knowledge of concussion is the greatest positive influence for symptom reporting among young athletes. However, the ideal delivery mode and educational content for interventions appropriate to each group has yet to be identified so steps such as defining the target group, measuring their level of awareness and knowledge, and monitoring of effectiveness. Overall, the goal should be to provide at least the basic information regarding concussion but as the results of this study demonstrate ensure lesser known aspects such as return-to-play criteria and signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and difficulty studying or concentrating are incorporated.

abstract = {The game of football, especially at the higher levels, is becoming increasingly dangerous as athletes keep getting bigger, faster, and stronger. The rate at which concussions are occurring is alarming and player safety has become the topic of conversation among sport the community. Since the symptoms and signs of a concussion don't always appear immediately or appear to be mild at first, the sports community originally assumed that the head injuries weren't serious. Besides the risk of suffering another concussion, a growing body of research has linked sports concussions with serious long-term effects like depression and memory problems. To make matters worse, researchers documented that high school and collegiate athletes do not report concussions sustained during football play because they were not aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Furthermore, although the National Football League (NFL) injury report has shown a decrease of head injuries since 2012, PBS FRONTLINE's Concussion Watch project reported that one-third of all concussions sustained during that time were left off the injury report. As research continues to expose the serious nature of sports concussion, league officials are facing constant scrutiny to change the rules and regulations that govern the game of football. Although the sport of football has a protocol to assess a player for a concussion, visual inspections could limit the amount of information a health care provider could gather. To address these certain limitations, manufacturers designed football helmets to decrease the forces of impact and engineered technological solutions to better detect head impacts that may cause injury. The purpose of this study is to examine the advancements in concussion detection and prevention, ultimately, providing league officials with recommendations that could help reduce a player's risk of a concussion. In addition to increasing concussion awareness, this study will support the balance between the adjustment to new concussion research and the sharing of knowledge acquired through research.

A purposeful sample of athletic trainers employed in secondary schools was requested to complete an online survey (1,124 of 3,943 [28.5% response rate]). Most athletic trainers (968 of 1,112 [87.1%]) reported having a written concussion management policy, which included background information (883 of 968 [91.2%]), immediate treatment (902 of 968 [93.2%]), and return to play criteria (933 of 968 [96.4%]). Strongest predictive variables of an existing concussion policy included athletic trainers who were: primarily paid via school/ district (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1,95% confidence interval [Cl] = 1.4 to 3.3), hired full-time (OR = 1.7,95% Cl = 1.1 to 2.7), and evaluation of more concussions annually (OR = 1.6,95% Cl = 1.3 to 2.0). Employment characteristics may influence the existence of a concussion management policy; however, additional research is needed to understand athletic trainers' ability to navigate school systems and implement a school-based concussion policy.

abstract = {Background: Sports-related concussions (SRCs) have gained increased societal interest in the past decade. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has implemented legislation and rule changes to decrease the incidence and risk of head injury impacts. The “targeting” rule forbids initiating contact with the crown of a helmet and targeting defenseless players in the head and neck area; however, there are concerns that this rule change has unintentionally led to an increased incidence of lower extremity injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in lower extremity injury rates in NCAA football during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons. We hypothesized that the lower extremity injury rate has increased across the time period. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Sixty-eight NCAA football programs provided 153 team-seasons of data to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program. Lower extremity injuries (ie, hip/groin, upper leg/thigh, knee, lower leg/Achilles, foot/toes) and SRCs sustained during NCAA football games were examined. We calculated injury rates per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) for lower extremity injuries and SRCs. Rate ratios (RRs) compared injury rates between the 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 seasons. Results: Overall, 2400 lower extremity injuries were reported during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons; most were to the knee (33.6%) and ankle (28.5%) and caused by player contact (59.2%). The lower extremity injury rate increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (23.55 vs 20.45/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06-1.25). This finding was retained when restricted to injuries due to player contact (RR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07-1.32) but not for injuries due to noncontact/overuse (RR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.80-1.14). When examining player contact injury rates by anatomic site, only ankle injuries had an increase (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.64). The SRC rate also increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (3.52 vs 2.63/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.08-1.66). Conclusion: The lower extremity injury rate has increased in NCAA football athletes. Similarly, SRC rates have increased, although this may be caused by concurrent policies related to better education, identification, and management. Targeting rule changes may be contributing to increased rates of player contact\textendashrelated ankle injuries. Alongside continued surveillance research to examine longitudinal time trends, more in-depth individual-level examinations of how targeting rule changes influence coaching and player behaviors are warranted.

Through the use of Benoit's theory of image repair, the authors found that Commissioner Goodell's open letters relied on 2 main image-repair strategies: reducing offensiveness and corrective action.

abstract = {Purpose: The decision regarding return to activity (RTA) after mild traumatic brain injuries/concussion is one of the most difficult and controversial areas in concussion management, particularly for youth. This study investigated how youth with postconcussion syndrome (PCS) are affected by exertion and whether standardized exertion testing using the McMaster All-Out Progressive Continuous Cycling Test can contribute to clinical decision making for safe RTA. Methods: Fifty-four youth (8.5-18.3 yr) with a previously confirmed concussion participated in the study. Each participant performed exertion testing on a cycle ergometer and completed a Postconcussion Symptom scale at the following time points: before exertion (baseline), 5 and 30 min, and 24 h after exertion. A modified Postconcussion Symptom scale was administered at 2-min intervals during exertion. Results: Participants had a mean T SD symptom duration of 6.3 T 6.9 months after the most recent concussive injury, with a median of 4.1 months (range, 0.7-35 months). Sixty-three percent of participants had symptoms during exertion testing. Symptom profile (number and severity) significantly affected perception of exertion at 50% peak mechanical power. During acute assessment of symptoms (30-min after exertion), headache (P = 0.39), nausea (P = 0.63), and dizziness (P = 0.35) did not change. However, both the number and severity of symptoms significantly improved over 24 h, with 56.8% of youth showing improvements. The time from the most recent injury had a significant effect on the symptom score at baseline, 30 min after exertion, and 24 h after exertion. Conclusions: Exertion testing has an important role in the evaluation of symptoms and readiness to RTA, particularly in youth who are slow to recover. Overall, controlled exertion seemed to lesson symptoms for most youth. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},

abstract = {Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been identified as a risk factor for concussion or delayed recovery. However, these recommendations are often based on anecdotal or limited evidence. This critically appraised topic aimed to address the clinical question of whether a premorbid diagnosis of ADHD increases the risk for a concussion and prolonged symptoms. A search strategy using PICO terminology related to the clinical question was conducted in several electronic databases. Seven studies were identified and five met the inclusion criteria. The clinical bottom line suggests there is moderate evidence to support the relationship between patients who are diagnosed as having ADHD and the incident rate of concussion, as well as a prolonged recovery time. The findings of this critically appraised topic suggest strength of recommendation of grade B to support that ADHD is a risk factor for concussion and a predictor of prolonged recovery.

abstract = {Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure concussion knowledge and awareness of youth Australian Rules Football players and parents. Secondary aims were examining if player's maturity in age, history of concussion and years played and parents who have undergone first aid and concussion training would increase knowledge. Methods: 1,441 parents and 284 youth ARF players completed a 23-item concussion knowledge survey consisting of three areas: concussion symptoms, management, and return-to-play criteria. Results: There was significant difference in knowledge of concussion management and return-to play criteria between players and parents (p= less than 0.01). Players age, years played and history of concussion did not increase knowledge, however, parents with concussion training had significantly higher scores than those without (p= less than 0.01). Some return-to-play criteria and signs and symptom not thought to be associated with concussion such as disturbed sleeping and difficulty studying were difficult for both groups to associate as related to concussion. Conclusions: Future concussion education opportunities for player and parents need to focus on return-to-play criteria and uncommon signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and problems studying. Applications in sport: The findings reflect certain areas that need to be incorporated into educational opportunities for players and parents, especially those who have limited access to qualified health care professionals such as ATC's. Although there is minimal evidence supporting concussion educational opportunities, awareness and knowledge of concussion is the greatest positive influence for symptom reporting among young athletes. However, the ideal delivery mode and educational content for interventions appropriate to each group has yet to be identified so steps such as defining the target group, measuring their level of awareness and knowledge, and monitoring of effectiveness. Overall, the goal should be to provide at least the basic information regarding concussion but as the results of this study demonstrate ensure lesser known aspects such as return-to-play criteria and signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and difficulty studying or concentrating are incorporated.

abstract = {The game of football, especially at the higher levels, is becoming increasingly dangerous as athletes keep getting bigger, faster, and stronger. The rate at which concussions are occurring is alarming and player safety has become the topic of conversation among sport the community. Since the symptoms and signs of a concussion don't always appear immediately or appear to be mild at first, the sports community originally assumed that the head injuries weren't serious. Besides the risk of suffering another concussion, a growing body of research has linked sports concussions with serious long-term effects like depression and memory problems. To make matters worse, researchers documented that high school and collegiate athletes do not report concussions sustained during football play because they were not aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Furthermore, although the National Football League (NFL) injury report has shown a decrease of head injuries since 2012, PBS FRONTLINE's Concussion Watch project reported that one-third of all concussions sustained during that time were left off the injury report. As research continues to expose the serious nature of sports concussion, league officials are facing constant scrutiny to change the rules and regulations that govern the game of football. Although the sport of football has a protocol to assess a player for a concussion, visual inspections could limit the amount of information a health care provider could gather. To address these certain limitations, manufacturers designed football helmets to decrease the forces of impact and engineered technological solutions to better detect head impacts that may cause injury. The purpose of this study is to examine the advancements in concussion detection and prevention, ultimately, providing league officials with recommendations that could help reduce a player's risk of a concussion. In addition to increasing concussion awareness, this study will support the balance between the adjustment to new concussion research and the sharing of knowledge acquired through research.

A purposeful sample of athletic trainers employed in secondary schools was requested to complete an online survey (1,124 of 3,943 [28.5% response rate]). Most athletic trainers (968 of 1,112 [87.1%]) reported having a written concussion management policy, which included background information (883 of 968 [91.2%]), immediate treatment (902 of 968 [93.2%]), and return to play criteria (933 of 968 [96.4%]). Strongest predictive variables of an existing concussion policy included athletic trainers who were: primarily paid via school/ district (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1,95% confidence interval [Cl] = 1.4 to 3.3), hired full-time (OR = 1.7,95% Cl = 1.1 to 2.7), and evaluation of more concussions annually (OR = 1.6,95% Cl = 1.3 to 2.0). Employment characteristics may influence the existence of a concussion management policy; however, additional research is needed to understand athletic trainers' ability to navigate school systems and implement a school-based concussion policy.

abstract = {Background: Sports-related concussions (SRCs) have gained increased societal interest in the past decade. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has implemented legislation and rule changes to decrease the incidence and risk of head injury impacts. The “targeting” rule forbids initiating contact with the crown of a helmet and targeting defenseless players in the head and neck area; however, there are concerns that this rule change has unintentionally led to an increased incidence of lower extremity injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in lower extremity injury rates in NCAA football during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons. We hypothesized that the lower extremity injury rate has increased across the time period. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Sixty-eight NCAA football programs provided 153 team-seasons of data to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program. Lower extremity injuries (ie, hip/groin, upper leg/thigh, knee, lower leg/Achilles, foot/toes) and SRCs sustained during NCAA football games were examined. We calculated injury rates per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) for lower extremity injuries and SRCs. Rate ratios (RRs) compared injury rates between the 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 seasons. Results: Overall, 2400 lower extremity injuries were reported during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons; most were to the knee (33.6%) and ankle (28.5%) and caused by player contact (59.2%). The lower extremity injury rate increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (23.55 vs 20.45/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06-1.25). This finding was retained when restricted to injuries due to player contact (RR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07-1.32) but not for injuries due to noncontact/overuse (RR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.80-1.14). When examining player contact injury rates by anatomic site, only ankle injuries had an increase (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.64). The SRC rate also increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (3.52 vs 2.63/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.08-1.66). Conclusion: The lower extremity injury rate has increased in NCAA football athletes. Similarly, SRC rates have increased, although this may be caused by concurrent policies related to better education, identification, and management. Targeting rule changes may be contributing to increased rates of player contact\textendashrelated ankle injuries. Alongside continued surveillance research to examine longitudinal time trends, more in-depth individual-level examinations of how targeting rule changes influence coaching and player behaviors are warranted.

Through the use of Benoit's theory of image repair, the authors found that Commissioner Goodell's open letters relied on 2 main image-repair strategies: reducing offensiveness and corrective action. They consider the implications of these rhetorical choices for the complicated merging areas of sport, communication, and health in the NFL's open letters. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},

This study investigated how youth with postconcussion syndrome (PCS) are affected by exertion and whether standardized exertion testing using the McMaster All-Out Progressive Continuous Cycling Test can contribute to clinical decision making for safe RTA. Methods: Fifty-four youth (8.5-18.3 yr) with a previously confirmed concussion participated in the study. Each participant performed exertion testing on a cycle ergometer and completed a Postconcussion Symptom scale at the following time points: before exertion (baseline), 5 and 30 min, and 24 h after exertion. A modified Postconcussion Symptom scale was administered at 2-min intervals during exertion. Results: Participants had a mean T SD symptom duration of 6.3 T 6.9 months after the most recent concussive injury, with a median of 4.1 months (range, 0.7-35 months). Sixty-three percent of participants had symptoms during exertion testing. Symptom profile (number and severity) significantly affected perception of exertion at 50% peak mechanical power. During acute assessment of symptoms (30-min after exertion), headache (P = 0.39), nausea (P = 0.63), and dizziness (P = 0.35) did not change. However, both the number and severity of symptoms significantly improved over 24 h, with 56.8% of youth showing improvements. The time from the most recent injury had a significant effect on the symptom score at baseline, 30 min after exertion, and 24 h after exertion. Conclusions: Exertion testing has an important role in the evaluation of symptoms and readiness to RTA, particularly in youth who are slow to recover. Overall, controlled exertion seemed to lesson symptoms for most youth. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},

abstract = {Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure concussion knowledge and awareness of youth Australian Rules Football players and parents. Secondary aims were examining if player's maturity in age, history of concussion and years played and parents who have undergone first aid and concussion training would increase knowledge. Methods: 1,441 parents and 284 youth ARF players completed a 23-item concussion knowledge survey consisting of three areas: concussion symptoms, management, and return-to-play criteria. Results: There was significant difference in knowledge of concussion management and return-to play criteria between players and parents (p= less than 0.01). Players age, years played and history of concussion did not increase knowledge, however, parents with concussion training had significantly higher scores than those without (p= less than 0.01). Some return-to-play criteria and signs and symptom not thought to be associated with concussion such as disturbed sleeping and difficulty studying were difficult for both groups to associate as related to concussion. Conclusions: Future concussion education opportunities for player and parents need to focus on return-to-play criteria and uncommon signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and problems studying. Applications in sport: The findings reflect certain areas that need to be incorporated into educational opportunities for players and parents, especially those who have limited access to qualified health care professionals such as ATC's. Although there is minimal evidence supporting concussion educational opportunities, awareness and knowledge of concussion is the greatest positive influence for symptom reporting among young athletes. However, the ideal delivery mode and educational content for interventions appropriate to each group has yet to be identified so steps such as defining the target group, measuring their level of awareness and knowledge, and monitoring of effectiveness. Overall, the goal should be to provide at least the basic information regarding concussion but as the results of this study demonstrate ensure lesser known aspects such as return-to-play criteria and signs and symptoms such as sleep disturbances and difficulty studying or concentrating are incorporated.

abstract = {The game of football, especially at the higher levels, is becoming increasingly dangerous as athletes keep getting bigger, faster, and stronger. The rate at which concussions are occurring is alarming and player safety has become the topic of conversation among sport the community. Since the symptoms and signs of a concussion don't always appear immediately or appear to be mild at first, the sports community originally assumed that the head injuries weren't serious. Besides the risk of suffering another concussion, a growing body of research has linked sports concussions with serious long-term effects like depression and memory problems. To make matters worse, researchers documented that high school and collegiate athletes do not report concussions sustained during football play because they were not aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Furthermore, although the National Football League (NFL) injury report has shown a decrease of head injuries since 2012, PBS FRONTLINE's Concussion Watch project reported that one-third of all concussions sustained during that time were left off the injury report. As research continues to expose the serious nature of sports concussion, league officials are facing constant scrutiny to change the rules and regulations that govern the game of football. Although the sport of football has a protocol to assess a player for a concussion, visual inspections could limit the amount of information a health care provider could gather. To address these certain limitations, manufacturers designed football helmets to decrease the forces of impact and engineered technological solutions to better detect head impacts that may cause injury. The purpose of this study is to examine the advancements in concussion detection and prevention, ultimately, providing league officials with recommendations that could help reduce a player's risk of a concussion. In addition to increasing concussion awareness, this study will support the balance between the adjustment to new concussion research and the sharing of knowledge acquired through research.

A purposeful sample of athletic trainers employed in secondary schools was requested to complete an online survey (1,124 of 3,943 [28.5% response rate]). Most athletic trainers (968 of 1,112 [87.1%]) reported having a written concussion management policy, which included background information (883 of 968 [91.2%]), immediate treatment (902 of 968 [93.2%]), and return to play criteria (933 of 968 [96.4%]). Strongest predictive variables of an existing concussion policy included athletic trainers who were: primarily paid via school/ district (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1,95% confidence interval [Cl] = 1.4 to 3.3), hired full-time (OR = 1.7,95% Cl = 1.1 to 2.7), and evaluation of more concussions annually (OR = 1.6,95% Cl = 1.3 to 2.0). Employment characteristics may influence the existence of a concussion management policy; however, additional research is needed to understand athletic trainers' ability to navigate school systems and implement a school-based concussion policy.

abstract = {Background: Sports-related concussions (SRCs) have gained increased societal interest in the past decade. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has implemented legislation and rule changes to decrease the incidence and risk of head injury impacts. The “targeting” rule forbids initiating contact with the crown of a helmet and targeting defenseless players in the head and neck area; however, there are concerns that this rule change has unintentionally led to an increased incidence of lower extremity injuries. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in lower extremity injury rates in NCAA football during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons. We hypothesized that the lower extremity injury rate has increased across the time period. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Sixty-eight NCAA football programs provided 153 team-seasons of data to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program. Lower extremity injuries (ie, hip/groin, upper leg/thigh, knee, lower leg/Achilles, foot/toes) and SRCs sustained during NCAA football games were examined. We calculated injury rates per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs) for lower extremity injuries and SRCs. Rate ratios (RRs) compared injury rates between the 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 seasons. Results: Overall, 2400 lower extremity injuries were reported during the 2009-2010 to 2014-2015 seasons; most were to the knee (33.6%) and ankle (28.5%) and caused by player contact (59.2%). The lower extremity injury rate increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (23.55 vs 20.45/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06-1.25). This finding was retained when restricted to injuries due to player contact (RR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07-1.32) but not for injuries due to noncontact/overuse (RR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.80-1.14). When examining player contact injury rates by anatomic site, only ankle injuries had an increase (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.64). The SRC rate also increased in 2012-2013 to 2014-2015 compared with 2009-2010 to 2011-2012 (3.52 vs 2.63/1000 AEs, respectively; RR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.08-1.66). Conclusion: The lower extremity injury rate has increased in NCAA football athletes. Similarly, SRC rates have increased, although this may be caused by concurrent policies related to better education, identification, and management. Targeting rule changes may be contributing to increased rates of player contact\textendashrelated ankle injuries. Alongside continued surveillance research to examine longitudinal time trends, more in-depth individual-level examinations of how targeting rule changes influence coaching and player behaviors are warranted.

abstract = {Purpose: The decision regarding return to activity (RTA) after mild traumatic brain injuries/concussion is one of the most difficult and controversial areas in concussion management, particularly for youth. This study investigated how youth with postconcussion syndrome (PCS) are affected by exertion and whether standardized exertion testing using the McMaster All-Out Progressive Continuous Cycling Test can contribute to clinical decision making for safe RTA. Methods: Fifty-four youth (8.5-18.3 yr) with a previously confirmed concussion participated in the study. Each participant performed exertion testing on a cycle ergometer and completed a Postconcussion Symptom scale at the following time points: before exertion (baseline), 5 and 30 min, and 24 h after exertion. A modified Postconcussion Symptom scale was administered at 2-min intervals during exertion. Results: Participants had a mean T SD symptom duration of 6.3 T 6.9 months after the most recent concussive injury, with a median of 4.1 months (range, 0.7-35 months). Sixty-three percent of participants had symptoms during exertion testing. Symptom profile (number and severity) significantly affected perception of exertion at 50% peak mechanical power. During acute assessment of symptoms (30-min after exertion), headache (P = 0.39), nausea (P = 0.63), and dizziness (P = 0.35) did not change. However, both the number and severity of symptoms significantly improved over 24 h, with 56.8% of youth showing improvements. The time from the most recent injury had a significant effect on the symptom score at baseline, 30 min after exertion, and 24 h after exertion. Conclusions: Exertion testing has an important role in the evaluation of symptoms and readiness to RTA, particularly in youth who are slow to recover. Overall, controlled exertion seemed to lesson symptoms for most youth. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR},
