Canadian researchers argue that the state of rest is not an effective tool for children who have suffered a concussion.

While traditional medicine recommends avoiding any active actions after a head injury, the latest studies showed that a month after her symptoms took more pronounced damage only if patients were inactive for seven days after getting injured in comparison with active children.

Activity was mainly a light exercise, including walking and swimming.

Such conclusions were obtained as a result of a survey of about two and a half thousand children aged from five to eighteen years who were exposed to therapy as a result of head trauma.

According to experts, exercise may reduce the chances of maintaining symptoms a month after the injury was received. The study showed that it can be assumed about a much earlier occupation of sports than the clinic recommends today.
