A brief, clinically feasible alternative to evaluate response to exercise following sport-related concussion: initial validation of the 10-M in male healthy controls

Key Points

• This research aims to validate a new exercise evaluation method following sport-related concussion.
• Compared 10-M protocol with treadmill conditions
• Evaluated physiological responses and clinical outcomes
• Tested the aerobic component of the EXiT program
• 10-M protocol showed comparable physiological responses to treadmill tests
• Indicates potential for effectiveness in concussion assessment
• Proposes a feasible alternative method for clinical use
