Post-Concussion Differences Between Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) and Modified Dynamic Exertion (mEXiT) Test

"Participants will complete the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test, which involves individuals walking at 5.8 km/hr. (3.6 mph) at a 0.0% incline (5.1 km/hr. \[3.2 mph\] if below 5' 10 tall), the treadmill incline is increased 1 degree each minute for the first 15 minutes, then speed increased 0.64 km/hr. (0.4 mph) each minute thereafter."

The modified EXiT test will complete a 12 minute treadmill interval program followed by a dynamic circuit (10 squat jumps, 10 side to side push ups and 10 medicine ball rotations), jump ball toss, zig zag agility and arrow agility. Parameters will be recorded the same as the established dynamic EXiT test; heart rate and RPE will be recorded at 0, 2, 6:30 and 12 minutes of the treadmill program as well as after the second trial of each activity. The time to complete two trials of the zig zag agility and arrow agility will also be recorded.
