About this conference
In this presentation I will talk about the implementation of cardiovascular exercise as strategy to improve brain plasticity and cardiovascular health in people at different stages of stroke recovery. First, I will present the results of one randomized controlled trial with 70 patients with subacute stroke (< 3 months post stroke) that shows that cardiovascular exercise has profound effects on cardiorespiratory fitness but inconsistent effects on brain excitability and the peripheral concentration of proteins involved in neural repair and stroke recovery. Then, I will present the results of another randomized controlled trial with 82 patients with chronic stroke (> 6 months post stroke) that shows that hight intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time efficient alternative to moderate intensity cardiovascular training (MICT) to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.
I will also show that, in contrast to what we saw in subacute patients, cardiovascular exercise promotes positive changes in brain excitability in chronic patients. To date, these are the two largest randomized controlled trials exploring the use of cardiovascular exercise to improve brain plasticity and cardiovascular health in patients at different stages of stroke recovery.
