What Is the Dose-Response Relationship Between Exercise and Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Stroke? A Systematic Review.

CONCLUSIONS: Exercising at an intensity greater than 72% of heart rate reserve may be more effective in increasing cardiorespiratory fitness after stroke than exercising at lower intensities. More trials that compare exercise doses by manipulating only 1 parameter of dose at a time for people after stroke are needed. PMID: 30834439 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
