This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a specialized, high-intensity cycling exercise program can help people who have had a subcortical stroke (a stroke in a specific part of the brain) recover better leg movement and walking ability. Researchers want to understand how exercise changes the brain after stroke and which patients are most likely to benefit from this type of intensive training.
Many people who have had a stroke struggle with leg weakness and slower walking that affects their daily life. This study exists to find out whether intensive exercise can rewire the brain to improve recovery, and to identify which patients are most likely to respond well to this treatment approach.

You would visit Emory University three times per week for 12 weeks to participate in cycling exercise sessions lasting 25 to 60 minutes. Each session includes a warm-up, followed by 20+ minutes of moderate-to-intense cycling on a wheelchair-accessible bike trainer, with your heart rate monitored throughout. Before you start and one week after you finish, you'll have a 90-minute brain scan (MRI) and walking tests to measure any improvements in leg strength and movement.
