Official Title: Post-acute Structured Exercise Following Sport Concussion: a Randomized Controlled Study

Brief Summary: This study will investigate the effect of standardized aerobic exercise (AE) compared to rest on clinical recovery from sport-related concussion (SRC) within the post-acute phase of injury. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: (1) Aerobic Exercise Group: participants will complete a total of eight exercise sessions over the course of 11 days, starting at Day 6 post-injury; (2) Usual Care Group: individuals will undergo a period of physical rest until symptoms spontaneously resolve. For the purposes of this study, "rest" will be defined as the avoidance of any activities beyond those of daily living, including participation in sport and physical activity.
