Abstract:Athletes interpret dynamic visual scenes quickly and accurately during physical exertion. It is important to understand how increased exertion may impact vision and cognition following sport-related concussion (SRC).
Purpose: To examine the effect of treadmill exercise on dynamic visual acuity (DVA) for athletes with and without SRC.
Methods:Varsity athletes following recent SRC (CONC=12) were compared to athletes without SRC (ATHLETE=19). The DVA task presented a Tumbling ‘E’ target in four possible orienta… Show more
