Authors' recommendations:
On the basis of one Systematic Review evaluating the effectiveness of aerobic training and cardiovascular exercise, the following conclusions were reached:
Low quality evidence shows an inconsistent improvement in functional ability with cardiovascular and aerobic exercise.
High quality evidence suggests that individuals in the early stages of post-acute stroke rehabilitation have a high potential to increase peak oxygen uptake following aerobic training and/or cardiovascular exercise.
Moderate quality evidence indicates that aerobic and/or cardiovascular exercise improves walking endurance.
