A brief summary of current research.
Impact of physical activity on mood after TBI
Driver, S & Ede, A Brain Injury, Volume 23, Issue 3 March 2009, pages 203–212.
This study found that routine physical activity (in this case, swimming) had positive effects on mood for persons with brain injury. This is important because of the known higher rates of psychosocial issues such as depression and tension in persons with brain injury.

I go to gym 3x per week for going on 4 years now. I have a mental health case manager and she suggested that we should do this, it has given my life purpose and something to look forward to. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I had gained some weight and was up for working on Getting that situation in check. It works perfect for us. I am usually her motivation for going. I'm extremely blessed!
