Psychosocial Responses to a Cardiovascular Exercise Randomized Controlled Trial: Does Intensity Matter for Individuals Post-stroke?
Despite lower affective response during exercise, HIIT elicits equivalent motivation and post-exercise enjoyment compared to MICT. This study provides further support for the implementation of HIIT in stroke rehabilitation by demonstrating sustained responses of motivation and post-enjoyment. Future studies should consider potential strategies that positively reinforce these important psychosocial responses to implement HIIT in post-stroke rehabilitation.
