An August 2024 study by McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
“This study shows that people with stroke can also benefit from high-intensity interval training,”
“With the right support and guidance, stroke survivors can safely and effectively engage in high-intensity interval training, significantly improving their overall health and recovery.”
“This is the first randomized trial to examine a time-efficient, high intensity interval training program to incorporate a phased and progressive approach,”
“We also used an adaptive recumbent stepper, which we believe allowed more people to participate in high-intensity interval training, even those who cannot walk fast enough or long enough on a treadmill.”
“Stroke rehabilitation professionals now have evidence to support implementing short, high-intensity interval training protocols in clinical practice. We showed our program is safe and effective at improving fitness and walking distance in people after stroke, which are important outcomes for stroke survivors,”
