Vigorous exercise has long been associated with improved health in many domains.
Results of clinical observation have suggested that neurocognitive performance
also is improved by vigorous exercise. Data derived from animal model-based
research have been emerging that show molecular and neuroanatomic mechanisms that
may explain how exercise improves cognition, particularly after traumatic brain
injury. This article will summarize the current state of the basic science and
clinical literature regarding exercise as an intervention, both independently and
in conjunction with other modalities, for brain injury rehabilitation. A key
principle is the factor of timing of the initiation of exercise after mild
traumatic brain injury, balancing potentially favorable and detrimental effects
on recovery.
