BDNF has been targeted as a potential biomarker for stroke recovery, & authors examined the effects of cardiovascular exercise on BDNF early after #stroke. They found cardiovascular exercise didn't induce significant chronic or acute changes in serum BDNF. https://t.co/KQZsAupE4l

🧠 It’s #BrainInjury Awareness Week. Theme: Invisible disabilities deserve visible change. Last year we launched Australia’s first #physicalactivity guideline for people with msTBI. Now we need YOUR help to put it into action. 📝 Survey (10+ yrs, msTBI): https://t.co/OOFXdiTukN

It was a privilege to work with people with TBI, their families and carers, clinicians, researchers, funders, and TBI advocates to complete this work under the incredible leadership of @Leanne_Hassett @syd_health @msk_health

Very pleased to share our #physicalactivity #clinicalpractice Guideline for people with mod-to-severe TBI, published in Clinical & Public Health Guidelines. 💡Funded by the #MRFF TBI Mission ✅Approved by @nhmrc 👍Endorsed @ESSA_NEWS @apaphysio @RMSANZ1 https://t.co/gct43t7OHf

High-intensity #exercise training to stimulate recovery in the acute stage of #stroke: very effective (maybe we should use/investigate this more often?) 👇 https://t.co/kcTsch1TR0 @REAmanzonwe @peterfeys_

My last PhD study was just published looking at the perspectives of people post-stroke who completed a 12-week HIIT trial. People post-stroke describe that HIIT is empowering and enables meaningful engagement in both ADLs and IADLs. Check it out below:

Just published in Disability and Rehabilitation. A timed sit-to-stand test and prediction equation had no agreement with fitness in people with stroke. A simple test of fitness for people with stroke is required. @liamgjohnson @GavinWPhysio @ProsperRehab https://t.co/mLn7MQiCFj

Though high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can increase neurotrophin, improve cardiovascular health, & enhance recovery after #stroke, it's rarely prescribed. Authors identified key facilitators & barriers to HIIT use in patients & rehab professionals: https://t.co/V1iDhKkXF6

📣 My final PhD study has just been published! @liamgjohnson @SuzanneKuys @A_ThompsonButel In a ‘healthy adult’ cohort ⬆️ lactate may indicate ⬆️ #BDNF, but there is no correlation 🤔 BUT being male or carrying the Val66Met polymorphism may change this https://t.co/a9PJE68fXp

Eight weeks of intense cardiovascular training do not increase brain derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with subacute stroke despite significant increases in cardiorespiratory fitness.
