简要总结
This clinical trial aims to examine the effects of combining HIIT on a semi-recumbent cycle ergometer (HIIT-RCE) with conventional physiotherapy on impairments and activity limitations in early subacute stroke. We hypothesized that HIIT combined with conventional physiotherapy would be more effective than conventional physiotherapy in improving workload capacity.

时间窗: At enrolment (T0), After 6 weeks of intervention (T1), 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) after intervention
A progressive intensity maximal effort cycling test will be performed in a semi-recumbent ergometer cycle (SOLE R90) to determine each participant's peak workload (in watts).
