Predictors of improved aerobic capacity in individuals with chronic stroke participating in cycling interventions

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Jan 08, 2020

Linder SM, Davidson S, Rosenfeldt A, et al. - In this secondary analysis of data from two randomized clinical trials, experts intend to discover demographic and physiological factors that prognosticate advancement in aerobic capacity between people with chronic stroke (n = 44) taking part in cycling interventions. Individuals were randomized to either forced aerobic exercise and upper extremity repetitive task practice, voluntary aerobic exercise, and upper extremity repetitive task practice, or a nonaerobic (VE+UERTP) control group. Important advancements in peak oxygen consumption per unit time (VO2peak) were noted from baseline to postintervention in the VE+UERTP group. It was found that high exercise rate (cycling cadence) seemed to be a significant variable in enhancing aerobic capacity and shall be acknowledged when prescribing aerobic exercise for people with chronic stroke. Those with low VO2peak at baseline might help the most from aerobic interventions as it associates with cardiorespiratory fitness.
