|
| Clark and Patten 2013 | 35 subjects with chronic stroke (≥6 months) were randomized to either the concentric resistance training group (CON), age (years) 59.7 ± 10.9, or an eccentric resistance training group (ECC), age (years) 63.2 ± 10.6 | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Walking speed, assessment of and neuromuscular activation and power | ↑ bilateral neuromuscular activation, ↑ walking speed of the ECC group when compared to CON |
|
| Ivey et al. 2017 | 30 subjects (21 men and 9 woman) with chronic hemiparesis (>6 months poststroke) were randomized to either the Strength Training (ST), age (years) 57 ± 14, or Stretch Control (SC), age (years) 55 ± 9 | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Skeletal muscle endurance, one-repetition maximum strength, 6 minutes’ walk test, 10-meter walk speeds, and peak aerobic capacity | ↑ skeletal muscle endurance, ↑ 6 minutes’ walk test, ↑ peak aerobic capacity of the ST group when compared to SC group |
|
| Lee et al. 2008 | 48 subjects mean age of 63 ± 9 with stroke (≥3 months) were randomized to either the control or progressive resistance training (PRT) or cycle or combined | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | 6 minutes’ walk test, habitual and fast gait velocities, stair climbing power, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, power, and endurance and psychosocial attributes | ↑ muscle strength, ↑ power, ↑ endurance, ↑ cycling peak power output;
↑ self-efficacy to PRT |
|
| Lee et al. 2010 | 48 subjects, mean age of 63 ± 9 with stroke (≥3 months), were randomized
to either the progressive resistance training (PRT) + cycling or PRT +
sham cycling or sham PRT + cycling or sham PRT + sham cycling | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Muscle strength, peak power, muscle endurance | ↑ power limb muscle strength, ↑ peak power, ↑ muscle endurance the PRT + sham cycling group when compared to sham PRT + cycling or sham PRT+ sham cycling groups |
|
| Ouellette et al. 2004 | 42 subjects with stroke (≥6 months)
were randomized to either the progressive resistance training (PRT) group, age (years) 65.8 ± 2.5, or Control Group (CG), age (years) 66.1
± 2.1 | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Muscle strength, functional performance, Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI) | ↑ muscle strength, ↑ self-reported function. and disability of the PRT group when compared to CG |
|
| Severinsen et al. 2014 | 48 men with chronic stroke (≥6 months) were randomized to the Aerobic Training (AT) group, age (years) 69, resistance training (RT) group, age (years) 68, and Sham Training (ST) group, age (years) 66 | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Muscle strength, peak aerobic capacity, 6 minutes’ walk test, fast 10 m walking speed | When compared to groups AT, RT, and ST important effects were not observed on walking velocity or walking distance; ↑ muscle strength, ↑ walking velocity for RT group |
|
| Zou et al. 2015 | 51 subjects with chronic stroke (≥6 months) were randomized to either the Experimental Group (EG), age (years) 52.3 ± 6.9, or Control Group (CG), age (years) 51.4 ± 7.2 | Lack of description of rest interval between sets and exercises | Blood glucose level, serum lipids profiles, body mass index, muscle strength | ↓ fasting insulin, ↓ HOMA-IR,
↓ 2 h plasma glucose, ↓ total cholesterol, ↓ LDL cholesterol, ↑ HDL cholesterol, ↑ muscle strength of the EG when compared to CG |
