Effects of High Intensity Interval Training Versus Intermittent Functional Training on Cardiovascular Fitness, Physical Function and Cognition in Stroke
The aim of this study is to determine comparative effects of High intensity interval training versus Intermittent functional training on cardiovascular fitness, physical function and cognition in stroke.
Inclusion: Both male and female stroke patients are included; Unilateral stroke experienced greater than 6 months prior to enrollment; NIHSS: National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (a score of 5 to 15 represents a moderate stroke); Able to walk 10 minutes over ground with assistive devices as needed without physical assistance; Able to walk 3 minutes on the treadmill at greater than 0.3 mph with no aerobic exercise contraindications; Stable cardiovascular condition (American Heart Association class B); Not currently participating in formal rehabilitation.
Exclusion: Evidence of myocardial ischemia or significant arrhythmia on stress test hospitalization for cardiac or pulmonary disease within the previous 3 months, pacemaker or implanted defibrillator; Diagnosed cardiovascular abnormalities; Lower extremity (LE) claudication; Unable to communicate with investigators or correctly answer consent comprehension questions; Severe LE spasticity (Ashworth scale score >2); LE weight-bearing pain >4/10 on a visual analog scale.
