Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the largest cause of death and disability globally. The physical and psychosocial consequences after TBI can persist for prolonged periods, and lead to increased health care and economic burden. Exercise has shown promise over recent years as a mode of rehabilitation that alleviates multiple TBI symptoms; but there is a lack of controlled large-scale studies and limited research into the underlying mechanisms. This critical review draws from animal and human studies on exercise immunology to speculate on possible mechanisms that could underlie beneficial outcomes of exercise after TBI. The anti-inflammatory role of exercise, protective role offered by pre-injury exercise, and the need for more objective studies on biomarker analysis are expected to be useful considerations to develop optimal post-TBI exercise rehabilitation programs. Future studies can consider investigating the specific immunological processes induced by exercise in consideration of individual differences and non-aerobic exercise modalities.
