Intense Exercise Is Better For Stroke Recovery

The HIIT group also maintained improved fitness at a check-in 8 weeks after the study had ended. Both groups had improved their walking endurance a similar amount by the end of the study, and there were no significant differences between the groups in improvements in cardiovascular risk factors or mobility.
