In 2017, John Leddy, MD, FAMSSM, led a team of researchers that received the first AMSSM CRN $300,000 Multi-Site Research Grant, which supports quality, multi-site research to address key priority areas within the field of sports medicine.

Christina Master, MD, and William Meehan III, MD, served as co-principal investigators for the research project titled “Sub-symptom aerobic exercise therapy to improve recovery from acute sport-related concussion: A randomized controlled trial.”

On the inaugural CRN Spotlight podcast, Dr. Leddy discusses his research with Dr. Jake Wessels, and answers the following questions:

• What did your research entail, and why did you choose to apply for CRN funding?
