Dynamic Cerebrovascular Response during Acute Exercise following Stroke
UCF Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science (IEPRS) Conference
Presented by Sandra A Billinger, PT, Ph.D., FAHA
Aerobic exercise benefits cardiovascular health and walking performance after stroke. We lack understanding in how exercise interventions may support brain health and secondary stroke prevention. Our current work studies the cerebrovascular response to an acute bout of exercise. Understanding the acute exercise response may inform benefit after longer exercise interventions. Our long-term goal in this line of research is to fully understand the role of exercise prescription parameters on stroke recovery and translate this knowledge into effective therapeutic strategies for stroke rehabilitation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how exercise interventions may support brain health and secondary stroke prevention
2. Understand the role of exercise prescription parameters on stroke recovery and translate this knowledge into effective therapeutic strategies for stroke rehabilitation.
