Abstract
Aim:To examine the effects of maximal exercise on symptoms, vestibular/ocular motor screening (VOMS) and postural stability.Methodology:A total of 17 college-aged individuals completed a symptom scale, VOMS and the modified Clinical Test for Sensory Interaction and Balance (m-CTSIB), followed by a graded maximal exercise treadmill test. Assessments were repeated post exercise, 20 and 40 min post-exercise.Results:Significant increases in total symptoms, symptom severity scores and m-CTSIB scores from baseline to immediate post exercise were reported. Following 20-min recovery, improvements were noted on symptoms, visual motion sensitivity on VOMS and m-CTSIB.Conclusion:Symptoms and postural stability are influenced by exercise and following 20 min of rest, returned to baseline, indicating that a period of 20 min following a suspected concussion may be needed to negate exercise effects.
Highlights
To date, limited research has examined the effects of exercise on multifaceted assessment, and the recovery timeline of those exercise effects
Tests that are solely administered in a resting state, such as computerized neurocognitive testing, will not be administered on the sideline, either in their computerized version or recently developed tablet version
Summary
To examine the effects of maximal exercise on symptoms, vestibular/ocular motor screening (VOMS) and postural stability. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pre- and post-exercise performance on common concussion assessment tools. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of maximal exercise testing and recovery timelines on symptom reporting, VOMS and postural stability
