This study tests whether a short, high-intensity interval exercise program is safe and practical for people who are recovering from a stroke during inpatient rehabilitation. You will be asked to do short bursts of exercise on a recumbent stepper, with rest periods, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise mixed with rest) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking and overall fitness. It may be a good fit if you can already walk a bit and do not have unstable heart or lung problems.
This trial tests a special exercise program for people over 65 who were recently hospitalized for heart failure and are now stable. It aims to see if a heart rehab plan tailored to your needs helps you recover and feel better.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help older people (60–75) with stable coronary heart disease improve their heart health. You would work with healthcare professionals to get an exercise plan tailored to your condition.
This study compares two types of aerobic exercise (steady vs. interval) to see which one improves heart health more for people who have recently had a heart attack or procedure. If you've completed a stress test and been cleared for exercise, you may be able to join.
