Scientists test High-Intensity workouts to boost brain health after stroke

This study tested two different exercise programs to see which is better for improving fitness and brain blood vessel health in people who have had a stroke. 59 participants were randomly assigned to do either moderate, continuous exercise or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a seated stepper machine for four weeks. The goal was to gather early evidence on whether more intense exercise could be a safe and effective way to help stroke survivors improve their physical health and quality of life.
