Effects of aerobic training on physical activity in people with stroke: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-stroke physical inactivity is explained by several factors related to the stroke, which have been suggested as the causes and consequences of functional declines and health problems. Therefore, it is important to increase physical activity levels and reduce the time spent in low-energy expenditure activities after a stroke. Since the maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness is a significant predictor of physical activity levels post-stroke, it may be important to investigate whether aerobic training is effective in increasing physical activity levels and reducing the time spent in low-energy expenditure activities in this population. The efficacy of aerobic training on these variables is not well known. The primary objective of this trial will be to investigate the
