About this trial

Stroke is a major health problem among Egyptian population; an obvious raise in stroke prevalence in all Egyptian governorates. Most stroke survivors commonly develop disabilities those were correlated with restricted physical activity levels. Stroke survivors' cardio-respiratory fitness has several negative impacts such as elevated risk of being affected by other cardiovascular diseases. So, the current study will be conducted to cover the lack in literature concerning the effect of aerobic training on cardiovascular endurance in stroke survivors aiming to faster recovery and reduce the risk of cardiac dysfunction and recurrent strokes.
