Highlights
- •Change in peak oxygen consumption per unit time (VO2peak) was highly variable following an 8-week aerobic cycling program.
- •Higher pedaling cadence during cycling was predictive of improvements in VO2peak.
- •Low baseline VO2peak was also predictive of improvements in VO2peak postexercise.
- •Aerobic intensity did not predict change in VO2peak in persons with chronic stroke.
