The objective of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of conducting low-volume, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a total body recumbent stepper (TBRS) in persons with stroke in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

-Both sexes between the age of 18-85 years at time of consent

Exercise continuously for minimum of 30 watts for 3 minutes on the recumbent stepper to demonstrate ability to perform the exercise test or therapist confirmation/documentation of participant's ability to use the recumbent stepper.

No aerobic exercise contraindications or other safety/physical concerns during the submaximal exercise test determined by the therapy team or inpatient physicians.

Disqualifiers
