TL;DR: This document is developed for physicians and healthcare providers who are involved in athlete care, whether at a recreational, elite or professional level, and provides an overview of issues that may be of importance to healthcare providers involved in the management of SRC.

TL;DR: In the face of misinformation about this injury in the minds of parents, coaches and athletes, it is critical that all involved stakeholders receive scientifically sound and up-to-date information regarding SRC and its potential consequences.

TL;DR: A brief period (24–48 hours) of cognitive and physical rest is appropriate for most patients and patients should be encouraged to gradually increase activity.

TL;DR: A future, more valid definition of SRC would better identify concussed players by demonstrating high predictive positive/negative values and new approaches need to be developed to provide objective markers for SRC.

TL;DR: There is preliminary evidence supporting the use of symptom-limited aerobic exercise, targeted physical therapy and a collaborative approach that includes cognitive behavioural therapy in patients with persistent symptoms following sport-related concussion.
