Congratulations #PISCESZODIAC trial team!

Infographic displays a study on post-stroke cardiorespiratory exercise's impact on brain volume. Population: 67 males, 37 females. Intervention: 104 analyzed. Findings: CRX safe, but didn't preserve brain volume more than control, as shown in graph.

RCT: An 8-week aerobic training intervention delivered 2 months post-stroke was safe but did not preserve hippocampal volume more than a balance and stretching control. ja.ma/47LZlvu
