In this issue, Krawcyk and colleagues report one year follow up data from the High-Intensity
Training in Patients with Lacunar Stroke (HITPALS).
1
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves repeated intervals of high-intensity
activity interspersed with rest or active lower-intensity recovery intervals; HIIT
can achieve similar fitness benefits as continuous endurance workouts, but in shorter
periods of time.
2
Krawcyk et al had previously shown that HIIT performed at home, guided by weekly
motivational phone calls for three months, was feasible and safe in patients with
lacunar stroke, but that there was no effect on cardiorespiratory fitness.

The current paper demonstrates that by one year activity levels had declined to baseline
levels,

suggesting that barriers to activity maintenance need to be addressed.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
