This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether a structured 12-week exercise program combined with stroke education can help people who have had a minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA—a brief warning stroke) prevent another stroke and stay healthier. You would attend supervised exercise sessions twice a week for the first 6 weeks at the hospital, then 6 weeks in your local community, plus individual follow-up visits to help you stay active long-term.
After a minor stroke or TIA, patients have a high risk of having another stroke, but they often don't receive structured exercise guidance once they leave the hospital. Research shows that regular exercise significantly reduces stroke risk and improves heart health, so this program aims to provide organized, evidence-based exercise and education to prevent future strokes.

If you join this trial, you would either receive the structured exercise program or be asked to exercise on your own at home. In the structured program, you would attend supervised aerobic exercise sessions twice a week for 12 weeks—the first 6 weeks at the hospital and the next 6 weeks at your local community center—plus education classes about stroke risk factors and one-on-one motivational check-ins to help you stay active. The usual care group would receive written guidance about home-based exercise and standard preventive medications.
