| Popis: | Objective To document the effect of high intensity exercise on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2 (SCAT2) scores in healthy young adults and children. Design Repeated measures design. Setting McGill University Athletics Department (adults) and Elementary School in the Montreal area (children). Participants Seventy six healthy young adults (45 women and 31 men, mean age 22.5±1.9 years) and 13 children (6 girls and 7 boys, mean age 10.7±0.4 years) participated in this study. Intervention Participants performed the Leger Test, a maximal multistage 20 m shuttle run test, to their perceived volitional exhaustion. Main Outcome Measurements The SCAT2 was used to evaluate participants at rest, 2 min and 25 min post-exercise. Results In adults, total SCAT2 scores were significantly decreased immediately after high intensity exercise (p Conclusions High intensity exercise, such as that achieved during a sporting event, has an impact on aspects of functioning assessed by the SCAT2. Clinical Relevance In order to eliminate the effects of exercise when testing individuals on the field immediately post-injury, professionals should allow for proper rest before using the SCAT2.
