Abstract: Background: Concussion is a physiological brain injury that exhibits systemic and cognitive symptoms. The metabolic and physiologic changes of concussion gives rise to altered autonomic function and control of cerebral flow. Aerobic exercise has received increasing importance in the scientific literature as a factor of management for individuals who sustain a concussion. Since exercise training has been reported to lower symptoms and improve function for those experiencing persistent post-concussion symptoms, it presents a potentially useful and clinically pragmatic intervention technique. Objectives: To monitor and determine if sub symptom threshold exercise preparation is safe and successful for treating post-concussion syndrome. Methodology: Pub Med, Google scholar, Pedro, Science direct, these databases were searched. Based on PICO format and considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria 6 studies were found eligible for this review. It was observed that sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise played an important role in improving the PCS symptoms. Result: A majority of studies show that spontaneous physical activity is safe and that subsymptom threshold aerobic exercise increases the rate of recovery in post-concussion syndrome. Exercise tolerance can be safely monitored using graded exertion test protocols within days of injury and the extent of early exercise tolerance has diagnostic and prognostic value. Conclusion: Sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise is safe and effective for the treatment of Post-concussion syndrome.
