Popis: Recent findings suggest breathing may negatively affect performance after concussion. The aim of the study was to examine group differences between individuals with and without post-concussion syndrome (PCS) in end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCOIndividuals in the PCS group will have elevated ETCOA quasi-experimental study was used in which a capnography unit collected ETCOBoth groups displayed similar breathing responses to cognitive and physical stress; however, PCS participants had significantly elevated ETCOCerebral physiological alterations and deficits in the autonomic nervous system may cause abnormal ETCO
