[B]Return-to-Sport Management --

Unrestricted return-to-sport should not occur prior to unrestricted return-to-learn for concussions diagnosed while the student-athlete is enrolled in classes. Complete rest and isolation should be avoided, even for initial 24-48 hours.  Relative rest is important in the first 24 hours. Final determination of unrestricted return-to-sport will be made by a  (School Name)  team physician or their medically qualified designee following implementation of an individualized, supervised stepwise progression management plan that includes:

Step 1. Symptom-limited activities of daily living.

Step 2. Aerobic exercise with light resistance training as tolerated [no more than mild or brief (<1 hour) exacerbation of symptoms]. [/B]

[B]2a. Light (up to approximately 55% maximum heart rate); then[/B]

[B]2b. Moderate (up to approximately 70% maximum heart rate).

Step 3. Individual sport-specific exercise and activity without any increased risk of inadvertent head impact exposure.

Proceed to step 4 only after resolution of signs and symptoms related to the current concussion, including with and after physical exertion.

Step 4. Non-contact practice with progressive resistance training.

Step 5. Unrestricted practice or training.

Step 6. Unrestricted return-to-sport. [/B]
