- Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the aerobic fitness of elderly individuals post-chronic stroke, comparing those living in communities and those not living in communities. A statistically significant difference in aerobic fitness was observed between the two groups, with non-community-dwelling elderly individuals presenting lower aerobic fitness. Additionally, a significant and moderate association was found between gait speed and aerobic fitness. It is concluded that elderly individuals post-chronic stroke with lower gait speed have lower aerobic fitness.
