Changes in fatigue after first-ever ischemic stroke and their associations with changes in physical fitness, body composition, and physical activity
There was considerable individual variation in changes to fatigue, physical fitness, body composition, and physical activity levels between 3 and 12 months following a first-ever ischemic stroke. Increased fatigue was linked to a greater concurrent decline in cardiorespiratory fitness, while lean body mass was associated with decreases in fatigue.
