The Effect of Exercise on Neurorecovery Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Aerobic exercise will consist of riding a stationary bicycle at moderate intensity for 2 consecutive, 20-minute periods with a 5-minute break in between. Moderate intensity is defined as maintaining 65-75% of estimated maximum heart rate based on the calculation (HRmax = 208 - 0.7 × age).

Non-Aerobic exercise will consist of very low-intensity movements including static stretching and toning exercises.Participants will complete 2 consecutive, 20-minute periods with a 5-minute break in between, mirroring the aerobic exercise condition. Heart rate will be monitored by research staff to ensure that it remains below 50% of estimated maximum heart rate.
