Relationship Between Ambulatory Capacity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Chronic Stroke

Relationship between ambulatory capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness in chronic stroke: influence of stroke-specific impairments.

STUDY OBJECTIVES To identify the following in individuals with chronic stroke: (1) the relationship between the maximal oxygen consumption (Vo(2)max) during cycle ergometry and the distance covered in the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and (2) the stroke-specific impairments that are important determinants for the 6MWT distance. DESIGN Cross-sectional study using a convenience sample. SETTING Exer...

Association Between Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Stroke

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. In the United States, stroke remains the third leading cause of death and a common reason for hospitalization, accounting for >$28 billion in direct medical costs annually. Several previous studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and both fatal and nonfatal stroke. However, the...

relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular diseases risk factors in iranian children

Cardiorespiratory fitness and the risk for stroke in men.

BACKGROUND Low cardiorespiratory fitness is considered to be a major public health problem. We examined the relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness, as indicated by maximum oxygen consumption VO(2)max with subsequent incidence of stroke. We also compared VO(2)max with conventional risk factors as a predictor for future strokes. METHODS Population-based cohort study with an average follow-up...
