It is important for people with stroke to exercise in order to improve their overall recovery and general health. However, these individuals are less physically active than people without stroke, and they often do not achieve the recommended frequency, intensity or duration of exercise. Low levels of physical activity leads to people with stroke becoming very unfit, which can result in functional decline and increased difficulty being active. It is important to determine how to encourage people with stroke to be more active in the long-term. The transition time between the end of rehabilitation and return to the community might be an ideal time to address barriers, and to develop positive habits, knowledge and abilities for long-term participation in exercise. We developed the PROPEL program that combines exercise with self-management strategies during rehabilitation to promote physical activity after rehabilitation. Preliminary pilot findings indicate that people who completed PROPEL were more physically active after discharge than those who did not. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PROPEL on long-term participation in exercise after discharge from stroke rehabilitation. This study will take place at 6 different hospitals. Participants will either complete a control intervention (group exercise only) or the PROPEL intervention (group exercise plus self-management). Participants' adherence to exercise for 6 months after the end of the interventions will be evaluated using activity and heart rate monitors and physical activity questionnaires. We expect this study will show that a simple intervention delivered during rehabilitation will increase participation in exercise after rehabilitation. Increased participation in exercise could then lead to improved stroke recovery and overall health, and reduced risk of having another stroke.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Individuals who are referred to the group aerobic exercise or PROPEL programs as part of their stroke rehabilitation. Exclusion Criteria: - Language or communication barrier that prevents completion of questionnaires (e.g., severe receptive or global aphasia or non-English speaking); - Cognitive impairment that would prevent participation in unsupervised exercise; - Attend less than 50% of group aerobic exercise/PROPEL sessions; and/or - Attend less than 4 of the 6 group discussion sessions (for individuals referred to the PROPEL program). |

Primary | Number of patients who meet recommended intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity | The primary outcome is proportion of participants per group who meet recommendations for intensity, frequency, and duration of daily physical activity; that is, at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise. Physical activity will be assessed using a step counter, heart rate monitor, and questionnaire for 7 continuous days. Participants will be deemed to meet the recommendations within a given week if they meet at least two of three criteria at 6-months post-discharge: 1) record at least 150 'active minutes' (from the step activity monitor); 2) record at least 150 minutes of heart rate between 55-80% of age-predicted maximum; and/or 3) report at least 150 minutes of moderate and/or vigorous intensity activity on the physical activity questionnaire. |
