Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that having a concussion can make it hard to exercise because of problems with the body's automatic functions.
- The study looked at 101 patients who had concussions and used a special treadmill test to track how they improved after following an exercise program.
- Results showed that 12 patients improved in important areas like how hard they could exercise and their heart rates after the exercise program, suggesting better ways to help people recover from these issues.
