Exercise Intolerance After Concussion

Many people notice they cannot tolerate exercise the way they used to after a concussion.

Why It Happens

This is often related to the autonomic nervous system, which controls heart rate and blood flow. Some individuals also experience dizziness or lightheadedness after a concussion, especially during activity. A structured, gradual return-to-exercise approach can help rebuild tolerance safely.

What Helps

• controlled exercise programs
• heart rate monitoring
• gradual progression
