This study will investigate the effect of structured, standardized aerobic exercise (AE) compared to usual care on clinical recovery from sport-related concussion (SRC) within the post-acute phase of injury. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: (1) Supervised Exercise Group: participants will complete a total of eight exercise sessions over the course of 11 days, starting at Day 3 post-injury (two sessions (first and mid-point) will be done in the lab, and the remained will be home-based sessions); (2) Usual Care Group: individuals will undergo a period of physical rest and standard care. For the purposes of this study, \"rest\" will be defined as the avoidance of any activities beyond those of daily living, including participation in sport and physical activity.
