Effects of Aerobic Training in Diabetic vs Non-Diabetic Post-Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
The study aims to investigate the effects of aerobic training in post-stroke patients, both diabetic and non-diabetic, in terms of their metabolic response to exercise and psychosocial well-being. It is crucial to understand the metabolic changes that occur due to stroke and diabetes, including glucose and lipid profiles.

Interventions
Aerobic Exercise in diabetic post-stroke patients
The experimental group's members will use the treadmill for a five-minute warm-up and cool-down. Over 12 weeks, they will attend three 40-minute weekly sessions in groups of two to four. They will then perform aerobic exercise for thirty minutes at a heart rate reserve of 60% to 80%. Those with a low exercise tolerance will first be given small workouts lasting at least ten minutes, interspersed with rest periods until they can perform 30 minutes of exercise. They will progress to longer, continuous workouts punctuated by shorter rest periods as their tolerance to exercise grows. The degree of treadmill training intensity will be adjusted step-by-step according to each person's tolerance, heart rate, blood pressure responses, and perceived effort rate. If they exercise beyond their cardiovascular conditioning zone, participants will be instructed to raise their treadmill speed until they achieve it
Aerobic Exercise in Non diabetic post-stroke patients
Group B will be managed aerobic exercise in non-diabetic post-stroke patients. Participants in the control group will walk outside comfortably while maintaining a heart rate reserve of less than 40%. They will be instructed to reduce their pace until their training zone reaches ≤40% if their heart rate reserve exceeds 40%. If the efficacy is demonstrated, participants in the control group will receive the experimental intervention
