Physiological Adaptations Following Endurance Exercises after Stroke: Focus on the Plausible Role of High-Intensity Interval Training
Author(s): Jerome Laurin and Caroline Pin-BarreJerome Laurin and Caroline Pin-Barre
The endurance training is considered as an integral part of stroke rehabilitation. However, medical institutions did not systematically include aerobic exercises because of the lack of scientific evidence. It is mainly the case for highintensity interval training (HIT) for which very few experiments were focused on after stroke. This review was designed to examine and compare the neurophysiological and physiological adaptations associated with two effective modalities of endurance training after stroke: the continuous low-intensity endurance training and the HIT. Based on the beneficial adaptations induced by HIT in healthy people and in patients with cardiovascular disorders, we postulate that this training modality might be involved in endurance program as complement or alternate of the traditional low intensity training in stroke patient. Therefore, including HIT in stroke rehabili.. View More»
