Implication

Prospective cohort study observes resting state functional brain activity changes following aerobic exercise in pediatric concussion, highlighting potential physiological mechanisms.

Key Points

Protocol aims to evaluate resting state functional brain activity alterations following sub-maximal aerobic exercise in pediatric concussion compared to matched controls.
Assessments schedule dual functional MRI scans around ten minutes of treadmill walking across two visits, with physical activity tracked by a tri-axial accelerometer for 28 days.
Profiling the cardiopulmonary response to exercise may optimize rehabilitation protocols beyond symptom resolution in pediatric concussion management, with results pending.
