Abstract:
Evidence is growing on the efficacy of exercise models for improving multiple domains of physiological health and fitness in people with chronic stroke. The Adaptive Physical Activity exercise program in Italy illustrates how geographic dispersion can increase access to such programs. A partnership between local agencies of the Veterans Health Administration and Administration on Aging suggests ways to increase access to exercise programs for veterans and other citizens with chronic stroke in the United States. The use of a structure-process-outcome framework is suggested to facilitate exchange between international research teams regarding development of evolving stroke exercise models.

01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
