  10. Sports concussion • Rest • Expect gradual resolution in 7-10 days • Start graded exercise rehabilitation when asymptomatic at rest and post-exercise challenge

  11. Sports concussion • How long asymptomatic before exercise? • If rapid and full recovery, then 24-48 hours • One approach is to require that they remain asymptomatic (before starting exertion) for the same amount of time as it took for them to become asymptomatic.

  12. Management • CORNERSTONE =rest until asymptomatic • Rest from activity • No training, playing, exercise, weights • Beware of exertion with activities of daily living • Cognitive rest • No television, extensive reading, video games
