Overview

Systematic review shows high-intensity interval training improves rehabilitation outcomes in post-stroke patients, indicating enhanced walking and cardiopulmonary function.

Key Points

  • This research aims to compare the efficacy and safety of high-intensity interval training versus conventional rehabilitation for post-stroke patients.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
  • Included studies published in English with adults undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation
  • Standardized mean differences calculated for primary and secondary outcomes
  • HIIT led to significant improvements in walking ability and cardiopulmonary function compared to controls
  • Enhanced 6MWT, SSS, FS, SF-36 scores, and Peak VO₂ were observed in HIIT participants
  • Significant effect sizes were noted for various outcomes associated with rehabilitation progress
