Concussions are a type of brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that can shake the brain inside the skull. They are a common type of injury in contact sports such as football, soccer, and hockey, as well as in activities such as cycling, skateboarding, and horseback riding. Symptoms of a concussion can include headache, dizziness, confusion, sensitivity to light and noise, and memory problems.

The authors discovered that an early return to school within two days was associated with better recovery at two weeks following the concussion in youth aged 8 to 18 years old, and the related benefit was in fact greatest in the youth who were most symptomatic.
