5. Study Description
Brief Summary
After a minor stroke, patients frequently report complaints such as fatigue and difficulty with certain everyday motor tasks, leading to a marked deterioration in their quality of life. The aim of this study is to show that the implementation of a personalised physical activity programme, starting 1 month after the hospitalisation for minor stroke, significantly decreases the frequency of fatigue in these patients, in comparison with usual management "in real life"..

Intervention Description
Rehabilitation program will start 4 weeks after discharge from acute care (S4), for a duration of 8 weeks (3 sessions / week). Physical training will include aerobic exercises 30-60 minutes at 50-80% of HRmax, associated with muscle building exercises in circuit training (20 min), and balance and flexibility exercises.
