Effect of High‐Intensity Interval Training and Moderate‐Intensity Continuous Training in People With Poststroke Gait Dysfunction: A Randomized Clinical Trial

BACKGROUND: The exercise strategy that yields the greatest improvement in both cardiorespiratory fitness ($\dot{V}{O}_{2\text{peak}}$) and walking capacity poststroke has not been determined. This study aimed to determine whether conventional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have different effects on $\dot{V}{O}_{2\text{peak}}$ and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD). METHODS AND RESULTS: In this 24-week superiority trial, people with …
