If you have a child with a concussion, prolonged rest after the first few days may not be the best treatment even though it has been recommended for years. Instead, a consensus is growing that mild, controlled aerobic exercise may speed recovery. That's a reversal of conventional medical wisdom, and more scientific study is needed to confirm the new thinking. But University at Buffalo researchers may offer an answer as they embark on a clinical trial of exercise and stretching treatments for adolescents with concussions.

The study comes at a time of increased concern over the timely identification and management of concussions. It has been estimated that as many as 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, occur in the United States each year. "If we show a program of controlled exercise works, it will change the treatment," said Dr. Similar work by Leddy and his colleagues has shown exercise benefits patients with post-concussion syndrome.

Active recovery: why you should keep moving even when your muscles are in agony | Coach. The deeper you go, the more it's going to hurt the next day. (image) iStock You are so sore you can barely get out of bed, sit on the toilet and function as a human being – but science suggests you should get up and move anyway. The process is known as "active recovery" and involves participating in low-intensity exercise to facilitate blood flow to your damaged muscles.

It's remarkably effective, too. By getting the blood flowing the day after a particularly intensive workout you can reduce soreness by up to 50 percent – a godsend for those who have been viewing stairs as some kind of architectural hell. What is active recovery? Active recovery is any gentle movement that you use to aid recovery, like walking, stretching or performing exercise at a very low intensity.

Aaron Coutts, professor in sport and exercise science at UTS, notes that active recovery often takes place in water because of its low impact. "Quite often these recovery sessions are completed in a pool or at the beach. The Thing All Women Do That You Don’t Know About.

They don’t know. They don’t know about de-escalation. Hell, even though women live it, we are not always aware of it. We have all learned, either by instinct or by trial and error, how to minimize a situation that makes us uncomfortable.

It doesn’t feel good. It’s not something we talk about every day. So maybe they don’t know. So routine that we go through the motions of ignoring it and minimizing. We learn at a young age how to do this. We go through a quick mental checklist. It happens all the time. It is the boss who says or does something inappropriate. We see it happen to our friends.

Everyday Feminism's on-point breakdown on the absurd way society treats sexual consent.

But you didn’t really think Big Sugar was going to miss the opportunity to advertise and communicate their sugar-message to the masses did go? Of course they weren’t! In fact, head of strategic partnerships and events at Cadbury, Lauren Fildes, has actually said brand sponsorship is one of the best ways to reach its target audience – mainly being families/mums and kids.
