Whole-Body Metabolism Carbohydrate Utilization and Caloric Energy Balance After Sport Concussion: A Pilot Study

摘要

Sport concussion (SC) causes an energy crisis in the brain by increasing energy demand, decreasing energy supply, and altering metabolic resources. Whole-body resting metabolic rate (RMR) is elevated after more severe brain injuries, but RMR changes are unknown after SC. The purpose of this study was to longitudinally examine energy-related changes in collegiate athletes after SC.
