“…O 2 after an 8-week program of lower extremity strength training at 85% to 95% of 1-repetition maximum. 825 Benefits derived from aerobic training are dose dependent. The appropriate total volume of exercise, achieved through various combinations of frequency, duration, and intensity, is key to attaining and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness.…”

e98Purpose-The aim of this guideline is to provide a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke. Methods-Writing group members were nominated by the committee chair on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas and were approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee and the AHA's Manuscript Oversight Committee. The panel reviewed relevant articles on adults using computerized searches of the medical literature through 2014. The evidence is organized within the context of the AHA framework and is classified according to the joint AHA/American College of Cardiology and supplementary AHA methods of classifying the level of certainty and the class and level of evidence. The document underwent extensive AHA internal and external peer review, Stroke Council Leadership review, and Scientific Statements Oversight Committee review before consideration and approval by the AHA Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee. Results-Stroke rehabilitation requires a sustained and coordinated effort from a large team, including the patient and his or her goals, family and friends, other caregivers (eg, personal care attendants), physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, recreation therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, and others. Communication and coordination among these team members are paramount in maximizing the effectiveness

“…While the importance of neural factors in strength training in the elderly population should yet be treated with some caution because of the low sample size and limited muscle groups studied in the current study, recommendations of heavy resistance training with emphasis on maximal mobilization in the concentric phase has provided excellent results not only in this study, but in a wide range of untrained patient populations (de Vos et al 2005;Hoff et al 2007;Caserotti et al 2008;Husby et al 2009;Fimland et al 2010;Fimland et al 2011;Heggelund et al 2012;Hill et al 2012;Mosti et al 2013). Although the isometric training may also account for some of the adaptations, these studies together present mounting evidence that heavy resistance training not only is feasible and effective; additionally, no incidents of injury have been reported.…”

Although reductions in resting H-reflex responses and maximal firing frequency suggest that reduced efferent drive may limit muscle strength in elderly, there are currently no reports of V-wave measurements in elderly, reflecting the magnitude of efferent output to the muscle during maximal contraction. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether potential age-related neural deficiencies can be restored by resistance training. We assessed evoked reflex recordings in the triceps surae muscles during rest and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), rate of force development (RFD), and muscle mass in seven elderly (74±6 years) males before and after 8 weeks of heavy resistance training, contrasted by seven young (24±4 years) male controls. At baseline, m. soleus (SOL) V/M ratio (0.124±0.082 vs. 0. 465±0.197, p<0.05)

“…According to Hill, et al 29 the strengthening training with load between 85% and 95% of the 1RM increases significantly the muscle strength and the performance of hemiparetic individuals on the Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT). In our study, the loads used were 30%, 40% and 50% of the 1RM, which is relatively low when compared to the study quoted above.…”

Maximal Strength Training Enhances Strength and Functional Performance in Chronic Stroke Survivors

Abstract: Maximal strength training improved muscle strength in the most affected as well as in the nonaffected leg and improved Timed-Up-And-Go time and 6-min walk distance but did not alter Four-Step Square Test time, aerobic status, or quality-of-life among chronic stroke survivors.
