• Abstract: Objective: To describe, through the literature, the traumatic mechanism of concussion injury, in addition to developing a profile of athlete patients and selecting the physiotherapeutic treatment that has the most significant impact on the quality of life and return to professional activities of football players. Method: This is a systematic review, a research project that began in November 2024. Data collection was carried out on the PubMed, Science Direct and Cochrane Library platforms, using the 2020 Prisma Statement model, via an analysis points diagram, seeking information on professional and amateur football players diagnosed with concussion who underwent rehabilitation through physical exercise. Results: Thus, it was noted that traumatic shock via whiplash (hyperextension of the neck followed by the skull, with posterior weight discharge), in addition to involuntary headbutts (traumatic shock with objects and opponents), as well as falls to the ground, correspond to about 70% of CC injuries. In terms of profile, most patients are over 18 years of age, male, and elite football players. Conclusion: Therefore, aerobic and isometric exercises in the rehabilitation of athletes with concussion are approaches that act on different mechanisms, although both show strong evidence of improvement in the clinical picture. Thus, AE acts on physical tolerance, and isometrics have a more localised effect, re-establishing motor control and spinal stability.
