Deans' stroke musings: Effects of high-intensity interval training after stroke (the HIIT-Stroke Study): A multicenter randomized controlled trial

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Effects of high-intensity interval training after stroke (the HIIT-Stroke Study): A multicenter randomized controlled trial

You might want to consult your doctor on this. Bet s/he doesn't even know about Andrew Marr.

Because Andrew Marr blames high-intensity training for his stroke.

Can too much exercise cause a stroke?

Effects of high-intensity interval training after stroke (the HIIT-Stroke Study): A multicenter randomized controlled trial

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation — Gjellesvik TI, Becker F, Tjønna AE, et al. | April 13, 2020

By performing this single-blind, multicenter, parallel group, randomized controlled trial, researchers investigated whether 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) plus standard care, vs standard care alone, would increase and maintain peak oxygen uptake (V o_2peak) more in patients with stroke. This inquiry was performed at specialized rehabilitation units at 3 Norwegian hospitals, and involved 70 participants. An intervention of 8 weeks: 3 times a week with HIIT treadmill training with work periods of 4 × 4 minutes at 85%-95% of peak heart rate interspersed with 3 minutes of active recovery at 50%-70% of peak heart rate, was performed among 36 participants and the control group received standard care as per national guidelines. Findings revealed not only the good tolerability of HIIT intervention in this sample of well-functioning survivors of stroke but also its non-superiority to standard care in improving as well as maintaining Vo _2peak at the 12-month follow-up. However, a significant improvement from before to immediately following the intervention was demonstrated by secondary outcomes from the peak test.
