Brief Summary
In hemiplegic stroke patients, gait performance is affected by impaired walking endurance. Evidence has shown that higher exercise intensity improves cardiovascular fitness, while greater dose in task repetition benefits locomotor function. Therefore, the goal of this study is to examine the effect of a combined cardiovascular/task-oriented interval training programme on the walking capacity of chronic stroke individuals and the improvement in their participation.
