Reduced Cardiorespiratory Fitness after Stroke: Biological Consequences and Exercise-Induced Adaptations by Sandra A. Billinger, Eileen Coughenour, Marilyn J. MacKay-Lyons, Frederick M. Ivey

“…Evidence from several studies consistently shows decline in cardiorespiratory (CR) fitness and physical function after disabling stroke. The broader implications of such a decline to general health may be partially understood through negative poststroke physiologic adaptations such as unilateral muscle fiber type shifts, impaired hemodynamic function, and decrements in systemic metabolic status. …”
