Benefit of exercise in concussion rehabilitation

Dech, Bishop and Neary, lead off the feature articles this week with a review examining the effects of exercise in the rehabilitation of sports related concussions, providing support to the concept of earlier introduction of activity in the rehabilitation process. In the second featured article Pavey and Brown, in a cohort study with over 9000 participants, report a protective effect of high levels of exercise on depressive symptoms in females with high levels of sitting, except in those reporting very high levels of sitting. In the third feature article, Cust and colleagues describe the relationship between individual and team performances on match quarter outcomes in elite women’s Australian Rules football.
