Individualizing Training in Swimming: Evidence for Utilizing the Critical Speed and Critical Stroke Rate Concepts.
CONCLUSION: HIIT prescribed based on the CS and CSR concepts was associated with improvements in several physiological, technical, and performance parameters in highly trained swimmers while utilizing time- and resource-efficient approach. This was achieved despite a ≥25% reduction in training volume. PMID: 31991399 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of an 11-Week In-Water Training Program With Increased Resistance on the Swimming Performance and the Basic Kinematic Characteristics of the Front Crawl Stroke
Gourgoulis, V, Valkoumas, I, Boli, A, Aggeloussis, N, and Antoniou, P. Effect of an 11-week in-water training program with increased resistance on the swimming performance and the basic kinematic characteristics of the front crawl stroke. J Strength Cond Res 33(1): 95–103, 2019—The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of an 11-week in-water training program with increased resistance on the swimming performance and the basic kinematic characteristics of the front crawl stroke in young female swimmers. Twelve swimmers were matched in pairs according to their best performance in 50-m front crawl swimming and then...

Effects of a tailored strength training program of the upper limb combined with transcranial direct  current stimulation (tDCS) in chronic stroke patients: study protocol for a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial
This study will determine whether an individualized strength training intervention in chronic stroke survivors can lead to improved arm function. In addition, we will also determine whether combining anodal tDCS over the lesioned hemisphere with strength training can lead to further improvement in arm function, when compared to sham tDCS.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT02915185. Registered September 21 2016.

Validity of Bioelectric Impedance in Relation to Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry for Measuring Baseline and Change in Body Composition After an Exercise Program in Stroke
Vanzella, LM, Lawand, R, Shuaib, M, Oh, P, Corbett, D, and Marzolini, S. Validity of bioelectric impedance in relation to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for measuring baseline and change in body composition after an exercise program in stroke. J Strength Cond Res 36(12): 3273–3279, 2022—Exercise is an important strategy to improve fat-free mass (FFM) and reduce percent fat mass (FM%). However, no study has reported on a valid, cost-effective method to measure changes in body composition after stroke. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dua...

Effect of stroke direction on plantar pressure in each foot during the forehand and backhand stroke among healthy adult tennis players of different performance levels
ConclusionRegarding an appropriate plantar pressure distribution, our results suggest that during training of especially recreational and intermediate players attention should be paid to the feet rather than to stroke direction.

Within-Session Responses to High-Intensity Interval Training in Chronic Stroke
Conclusions: For treadmill HIT in chronic stroke, a combination of P30 and P60 may optimize aerobic intensity, treadmill speed, and stepping repetition, potentially leading to greater improvements in aerobic capacity and gait outcomes in future studies.

Post-exercise hypotensive response in stroke patients following acute moderate or high intensity cycling session
CONCLUSIONS: Those results suggest that HIIT induce a systolic blood pressure reduction of greater magnitude than MICT immediately after cycling exercise among patients with prior ischemic stroke or TIA. For both exercises, effects on ambulatory blood pressure are similar and persist up to 8 hours.PMID:34651612 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.21.12823-3

Effect of core stabilization exercises in addition to conventional therapy in improving trunk mobility, function, ambulation and quality of life in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThis study concluded that core stabilization training is better as compared to the conventional physical therapy treatment for improving trunk impairments, functional ambulation and quality of life among patients of stroke. The core stabilization training is also more effective in improving trunk mobility in sagittal plane. This study is registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20210614051578N1 and was approved by the local research ethics committee of Riphah International University.

Republished research: Effects of circuit training as alternative to usual physiotherapy after stroke: randomised controlled trial
This article is an abridged version of a paper that was published on bmj.com. Cite this article as: BMJ 2012;344:e2672 Abstract Study question What is the effect of task oriented circuit training compared with usual physiotherapy in terms of self reported walking competency for patients with stroke discharged from a rehabilitation centre to their own home? Summary answer Task oriented circuit training started in the first six months is as effective as individually tailored physiotherapy for patients with moderate to mild stroke and allows patients to exercise more intensively with a lower ratio of staff to patients. What i...

Whole-Body Vibration Intensities in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: The addition of the 30-session WBV paradigm to the leg exercise protocol was no more effective in enhancing body functions/structures, activity, and participation than leg exercises alone in chronic stroke patients with mild to moderate motor impairments.

Does a Perturbation Based Gait Intervention Enhance Gait Stability in Fall Prone Stroke Survivors? A Pilot Study.
Authors: Punt M, Bruijn SM, van de Port IG, de Rooij IJM, Wittink H, van Dieën JH Abstract A recent review indicated that perturbation based training (PBT) interventions are effective in reducing falls in older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease. It is unknown whether this type of intervention is effective in stroke survivors. We determined whether PBT can enhance gait stability in stroke survivors. Ten chronic stroke survivors who experienced falls in the past six months participated in the PBT. Participants performed 10 training sessions over a six-week period. The gait training protocol was progressiv...
