Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that combined Respiratory Muscle Training and a Stroke Wellness Program is more effective than a Stroke Wellness Program alone for stroke survivors with and without a smoking exposure history.

Participants will participant in a Stroke Wellness Program consisting of strengthening, cardiovascular and flexibility training program plus respiratory exercise for 24 sessions (3x/week for 8 weeks).

Researchers will compare outcomes to those randomized to a respiratory strengthening program compared to a relaxation training program to see if those who received respiratory strengthening had improved maximal respiratory pressure, improved physical activity and improved quality of life compared to those who received relaxation training.
