Effects of High-intensity Exercise Training on Physical Fitness, Cognition, Language in Post-stroke Aphasia
Exercising Language: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Changes After High-intensity Exercise Training in Post-stroke Aphasia
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to establish the feasibility and fidelity of a high-intensity exercise program for individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it feasible for stroke survivors with aphasia to participate in a long in-person physical exercise program? * Does participation in a physical exercise program lead to physical fitness, cognitive, language and/or psychological changes? Participants can take part in two different physical exercise interventions: * Low intensity intervention (control intervention); * High-intensity physical exercise intervention (target intervention).
