Summary
This small pilot study looked at whether aerobic exercise (like walking or cycling) can improve memory, attention, and fatigue in people who had a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Twelve adults, at least 3 months after their injury, took part. Half did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week for 8 weeks, while the other half continued their usual routine. The study used brain scans and cognitive tests to measure any changes.
