Exercise interventions have become a key part of support for many people with stroke. The original Cochrane review “Physical Fitness Training for Stroke Patients” is updated but be aware it is now SPLIT into THREE new reviews, with new titles! #ActFast #WorldStrokeDay2026

Sneak preview👀
After years of research & refinement, we’re getting close to launching the TBRS Submaximal Exercise Test App.
More to come soon. #IYKYK

Have a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury?
We're looking for people aged 10+ to take a short survey (15-20 mins) on what physical activity you enjoy - sports, walking, classes, etc.
Your input helps us advocate for better community options 🙌

BDNF has been targeted as a potential biomarker for stroke recovery, & authors examined the effects of cardiovascular exercise on BDNF early after #stroke. They found cardiovascular exercise didn't induce significant chronic or acute changes in serum BDNF. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…
ALT This image shows details about the paper linked in the post. It was published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, and the title of the article is, "Investigating the Acute and Chronic Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Early Subacute Stroke".

🧠 It’s #BrainInjury Awareness Week. Theme: Invisible disabilities deserve visible change.
Last year we launched Australia’s first #physicalactivity guideline for people with msTBI. Now we need YOUR help to put it into action.

High-intensity #exercise training to stimulate recovery in the acute stage of #stroke: very effective (maybe we should use/investigate this more often?)

My last PhD study was just published looking at the perspectives of people post-stroke who completed a 12-week HIIT trial. People post-stroke describe that HIIT is empowering and enables meaningful engagement in both ADLs and IADLs. Check it out below: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Just published in Disability and Rehabilitation. A timed sit-to-stand test and prediction equation had no agreement with fitness in people with stroke. A simple test of fitness for people with stroke is required. @liamgjohnson @GavinWPhysio @ProsperRehab
