Fitness training that focuses on cardio may help people recovering from a stroke to preserve their cognitive function, according to Australian research. The study followed around 100 people after a stroke who either took part in an 8-week aerobic and resistance training program (CRX group) or a control program of balance and stretching exercises. The researchers found that while they did not detect any differences in brain structure, they did find that there were cognitive differences between the groups. They found that those who followed the aerobic and resistance training program had better executive function, as well as overall cognition—including memory and language.
