Investigating Exercise Prescription Parameters on Aerobic Fitness and Vascular Health After Stroke: A Pilot Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Exercise MICT and Exercise HIIT for Stroke and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
People living with stroke have very low aerobic fitness, which can negatively impact brain health. Identifying the best exercise which includes exercise stimulus type (interval, continuous) or intensity, how hard to exercise (moderate, high) that benefit aerobic fitness, vascular health, and the brain's main blood vessels after stroke are unknown. This study is designed to determine the preliminary efficacy of high-volume HIIT to moderate intensity exercise using a seated stepper exercise device that allows the arms and legs to move back and forth.
