While cardiovascular training seems an empirically appropriate intervention, the optimal dosage and intensity of cardiovascular training in stroke survivors remains unclear. The aim was to determine the safety and feasibility of moderate-intensity cardiovascular training following stroke, including measurement of adherence to training.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A pilot, prospective, patient- and assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial conducted in a tertiary, metropolitan hospital-based community rehabilitation centre. Eligibility criteria included ambulant (&gt;\u2009100\u2009m), 6\u2009weeks-12\u2009months post stroke. Moderate-intensity fitness training or control (low-intensity) exercise was offered biweekly for 12\u2009weeks. Outcome measures included adverse events, peak oxygen uptake (VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), functional exercise capacity (6-Minute Walk Test, 10-m Walk Test) and health-related quality of life (Short Form-36) and mood (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ9).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p><jats:italic>Feasibility:<\/jats:italic> Seventy-one (50%) of 141 screened participants were eligible (29% did not agree to participate). Twenty participants (10 intervention, 10 control) were recruited. The median (%; IQR) supervised sessions was 19.5 (81%; 12, 20); and 20 (83%; 19, 22) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Progression of duration and intensity was limited; mean of 10 sessions to achieve target duration (30\u2009min). There were no adverse events. Baseline peak oxygen uptake (VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) levels were low (15.94\u2009ml\/kg\/min). Significant improvements in VO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> peak in both groups were observed (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.05).
