Highlights
APPLICABLE REMARKS
• Previously searched benefits of physical activity have shown that aerobic exercise helps increase VO2 and peak working loads in medium to large-size stroke patients.
• From primary to secondary objectives this review has highlighted areas for future research, pointing to opportunities to broaden the scope of the knowledge base.
• It's unknown how training affects death, dependency, and impairment following a stroke.
• There is enough data to recommend incorporating cardiorespiratory training, which includes walking, into post-stroke rehabilitation to increase walking speed, tolerance, and independence.
• More research is needed to find the best exercise prescription after a stroke and to see whether there are any long-term benefits.
