Efectos del HIIT sobre el metabolismo óseo en personas con accidente cerebrovascular crónico
Efectos del entrenamiento en intervalos de alta intensidad sobre el metabolismo óseo en personas con accidente cerebrovascular crónico: un ensayo controlado aleatorio de prueba de concepto
Objectives: To investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on musculoskeletal fitness in chronic stroke survivors.
Hypothesis to be tested: HIIT, performed on a recumbent stepper, will significantly enhance muscle power in chronic stroke survivors when compared with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) Design and subjects: Assessor-blinded, stratified, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving eligible 66 chronic stroke survivors.
Interventions: Participants will be randomly allocated to one of three groups: the HIIT group, the MICT group, or a stretching group (active control). Each group will attend sessions three times per week for 12 consecutive weeks, totaling 36 training sessions.
Main outcome measures: Assessments will be conducted at baseline, at mid-term of the intervention (week 6), at the end of the intervention (week 12), and at a 12-week follow-up (week 24). The primary outcome measure will be muscle power. Secondary outcome measures will include muscle strength, body composition, biomarkers, motor function, balance function, cardiorespiratory response, and psychosocial response.

Experimental: High-intensity interval training
The HIIT session will consist of a 3-minute warm-up, a 20-minute main exercise, and a 2-minute cool-down. The main exercise for HIIT will include ten high-intensity intervals, interspersed with ten low-intensity intervals. |
There will be three sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks, totaling 36 training sessions. |
|
Comparador activo: Moderate-intensity continuous training
The MICT session will consist of a 3-minute warm-up, a main exercise that approximately matches the total workload of the HIIT session (lasting about 30 minutes), and a 2-minute cool-down. The intensity during the main exercise for MICT will remain below the vigorous level by progressively adjusting the workload throughout the intervention period. |
There will be three sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks, totaling 36 training sessions. |
|
Comparador activo: Stretching
The stretching group will receive 25 minutes of whole-body stretching. |
There will be three sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks, totaling 36 training sessions. |
