Cardiovascular Effects of Acute Exercise Post-Stroke

Participants will perform a graded cardiopulmonary exercise test to asses their cardiorespiratory fitness. It will also provide a peak exercise stimulus to examine acute changes in arterial stiffness, and to prescribe both moderate intensity continuous exercise and high intensity interval exercise.

Participants will perform a 30-minute session of moderate-intensity continuous exercise.

1 week later, participants will perform a 19-minute session of high-intensity interval exercise.
