Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether high-intensity interval training — a type of exercise with short bursts of intense activity — can help veterans who had a stroke recover better walking ability. The researchers will also take blood samples and brain scans to identify biological markers (called biomarkers) that might predict which patients will respond well to this exercise program.
Many stroke survivors struggle with walking, but doctors currently cannot predict who will benefit from exercise training and who won't. This trial aims to solve that problem by identifying blood and brain factors that could help doctors personalize rehabilitation plans and set realistic recovery goals for each patient.

You would participate in a 12-week high-intensity interval training program (the researchers expect about 85% of participants to complete it). During this time, you would have MRI brain scans and blood tests taken to measure biological markers before, during, and after the program. Your walking speed would be measured regularly to see if the training helps you move faster.
