Correctly order the steps for return to activity after a concussion according to the CDC Heads Up Guidelines:

 

 
•  After light aerobic activity with no concussion signs or symptoms, the next action is moderate activity. Still focusing on increasing heart rate, incorporate body and head movements. Weightlifting can be incorporated, but for shorter periods of time and less weight than the athlete’s usual workout
 
•  Once the youth athlete is practicing at full capacity with no signs or symptoms, the athlete can return to competition.
 
•  The youth athlete is back to regular activities. Sports should not be the first thing a youth athlete returns to; school and other daily life activities should be the starting point.
 
•  After heavy, non-contact activity with no signs or symptoms, the youth athlete can begin normal practice and full contact. This entails whatever normal practice pre-concussion contained.
 
•  After being back to regular activities, the youth athlete can participate in light aerobic activities. This is meant to increase the athlete’s heart rate for short periods of time (CDC recommends 5-10 minutes). This should not include any kind of weightlifting.
 
•  After moderate activity with no signs or symptoms of concussion, heavy, non-contact activity can begin. More intense forms of aerobic activity, the athlete’s usual weightlifting routine, and any sport-specific drills can resume as long as they are no-contact.
