Brief Summary: The aim of this observational study is to investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive functions in patients with chronic stroke The primary question addressed is

Does aerobic exercise have an impact on cognitive functions in individuals with chronic stroke Participants with chronic stroke were divided into two groups those engaging in aerobic exercise and a control group Both groups underwent cognitive function assessments at intervals of thirty minutes
Detailed Description: WORKPLACE The study was conducted at the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation Faculty of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Pamukkale University

PARTICIPANTS The study included 38 stroke patients admitted to Pamukkale University Hospital aged between 25 and 80 who had a diagnosed cardiopulmonary disease or additional neurological disorders and did not have defined psychological issues Individuals with visual or auditory impairments were excluded from the study Participants were informed about the study provided with a voluntary information form to read and written consent was obtained

In this study a bicycle ergometer was used considering the safety and individual capabilities of the participants The protocol consisted of a 5-minute warm-up 20 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise and a 5-minute cool-down period While most studies aim for high-intensity exercise 60-80 this study focused on a single-session exercise training model hence the exercise program for the study group was set at a moderate intensity 40-50 Participants in the study group wore a pulse oximeter and were instructed to exercise within the specified heart rate ranges Neuropsychological tests were administered before and after the bicycle ergometer sessions The control group underwent neuropsychological tests at thirty-minute intervals without using the bicycle ergometer

REGISTRATION FORM The registration form collected information on demographic data including the date of stroke onset medical history family history smoking and alcohol use dominant and affected extremities and current comorbidities

ASSESSMENT Participants were randomly assigned to the study or control group using a closed-envelope method All assessments were conducted in a well-lit and quiet room Cognitive levels were measured using the Standardized Mini-Mental State Test SMMT In the study group blood pressure pulse and oxygen saturation were measured Subsequently the Stroop Test T-BAG Form Letter Cancellation Test and Wechsler Digit Span Test were administered After the tests a thirty-minute submaximal bicycle ergometer session including a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down period was conducted Blood pressure pulse and oxygen saturation were measured again and the tests were repeated In the control group blood pressure pulse and oxygen saturation were measured before administering the Stroop Test Letter Cancellation Test and Wechsler Digit Span Test To avoid learning effects in the neuropsychological test battery participants in the control group waited for approximately thirty minutes before repeating cognitive tests and results were recorded
