Abstract
Cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness are low following a stroke. Interventions to improve physical fitness after stroke could have a range of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial benefits.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this updated review1 were to determine whether fitness training after stroke reduces death, death or dependence, and disability. The secondary objectives were to determine the effects of training on adverse events, risk factors, physical fitness, mobility, physical function, health status and quality of life, mood, and cognitive function.
