Conditions
Summary
Stroke is a major health problem among Egyptian population; an obvious raise in stroke prevalence in all Egyptian governorates. Most stroke survivors commonly develop disabilities those were correlated with restricted physical activity levels. Stroke survivors' cardio-respiratory fitness has several negative impacts such as elevated risk of being affected by other cardiovascular diseases. So, the current study will be conducted to cover the lack in literature concerning the effect of aerobic training on cardiovascular endurance in stroke survivors aiming to faster recovery and reduce the risk of cardiac dysfunction and recurrent strokes.

Interventions
Aerobic training program; on interval moderate mode, 3 session per week, for 16 weeks, along 30-40 minutes, plus 5-10 minutes of warm up and 5 minutes cooling down, with 50-80% of maximal heart rate for each patient based on age. that progress every month by 10% directed by rating of perceived exertion.
Selected neurorehabilitation for 1 hour session; 3 sessions per week, for 16 weeks. It involves weight shift side to side, reaching toward weak side, shoulder flexion overhead, shoulder external rotation, overhead press, shoulder internal rotation with Thera-band, heel slides, bridging, lying terminal knee extension, toe and heel raises, sensory reeducation exercises, and body awareness therapy.
