Background and Purpose Despite the social, health, and economic burdens associated with cognitive impairment post-stroke, there is considerable uncertainty about the types of interventions that might preserve or restore cognitive abilities. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of physical activity (PA) training on cognitive function post-stroke and identify intervention and sample characteristics that may moderate treatment effects. Methods Randomized controlled trials examining the association between structured PA training and cognitive performance post-stroke were identified using electronic databases EMBASE and MEDLINE. Intervention effects were represented by Hedges' g and combined into pooled effect sizes using random- and mixed-effects models. Effect sizes were subjected to moderation analyses using the between-group heterogeneity test. Results Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria, representing data from 736 participants. The primary analysis yielded a positive overall effect of PA training on cognitive performance (Hedges' g [95% CI]=0.304[0.14-0.47]). Mixed-effects analyses demonstrated that combined aerobic and strength training programs generated the largest cognitive gains, and that improvements in cognitive performance were achieved even in the chronic stroke phase (mean=2.6 years post-stroke). Positive moderate treatment effects were found for attention/processing speed measures (Hedges' g [CI]=0.37[0.10-0.63]), while the executive function and working memory domains did not reach significance (p>0.05). Conclusions We found a significant positive effect of PA training on cognition post-stroke with small to moderate treatment effects that are apparent even in the chronic stroke phase. Our findings support the use of PA training as a treatment strategy to promote cognitive recovery in stroke survivors.

“…A research group at the University of Regensburg, Germany, reported that 20 sessions of golf training improved visual imagery ability in patients with stroke, even in the late phase 18. However, few studies have examined whether golf-based interventions can increase cognitive and physical performance in healthy older adults.…”

“…Stroke is the most common neurological disease and a primary cause of lifelong disability in industrialized countries (Johnston, Mendis, & Mathers, 2009). After the age of 45 around a quarter of all people experience a stroke, a figure which is increasing because of modern lifestyle factors including: physical inactivity, increasing diabetes, and obesity disorders (Pollock et al, 2014;Schachten, & Petra, 2015). The most frequent form of stroke is ischemic, which occurs when blood supply to certain parts of the brain is cut off, usually though a clot, and can cause a number of neuropsychological and motor deficits.…”

“…Golf is, in origin, an accessible competitive sport for people with impairments given the adaptations and modifications available, combined with the golf handicap system, thus helping to facilitate an environment where golfers of all abilities can compete equitably (Stoter et al, 2017). In order to further accommodate golfers with disabilities, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA) have produced a modification to the rules of golf for golfers who require provisions for adapted participation (Schachten & Petra, 2015).…”

This paper draws on interviews with four stroke survivors, who participated in a five week 'Get-into-Golf' program and four coaches with experiences of delivering disability golf sessions, to examine the barriers and facilitators to golf participation. Findings indicate a positive response from participants, who referred to the social and physical benefits of the programme that was perceived to promote independence. The results also highlight that considerations in regards to format, equipment, cost, access and overall awareness should be borne in mind for golf programmes amongst people with disabilities. Golf clubs could employ this framework to inform provision in order to facilitate the participation of people with physical limitations. It is argued that opportunities to promote golf as a lifelong physical activity among people with disabilities may be missed in clubs where personnel are unsure of the barriers and facilitators to participation outlined here.

Abstract: Background: Stroke is the most common neurological disease and the primary cause of lifelong disability in industrialized countries. Because of this it is important to investigate any kind of successful therapy.
