Effects of Exercise on EEG Activity and Standard Tools Used to Assess Concussion

Figure 2

Effect of moderate exercise on four concussion inventories. (a) Performance on the SAC before (baseline) and after (postexercise) exertion. (b) Performance on the K-D test following exercise was also improved (decreased) for all subjects. Female subjects demonstrated the most change from baseline (see main text). (c) Total severity score of the GSC questionnaire (max = 132) was not changed after exercise. (d) Exercise did not significantly alter performance on the BESS (total errors across six postures) for all subjects. Data were collected from the same subject groups (n = 16 subjects) as in Figure 1. Plot conventions are as described in Figure 1.
