We evaluated 14 chronic hemiparetic individuals with stroke sequelae. This study was an experimental model of research to evaluate the functional performance of gait and cardiovascular fitness of participants. It was used the six-minute walking test. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), blood pressure (BP), oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO 2 ) and distance were the parameters analyzed. After statistical analysis, and establishing the significance level (a = 0.05) was observed decreasing in BP and HR at rest, besides increasing the distance traveled.
