Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Is over 18 years old. - Meets the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) inclusion criteria for maximal exercise testing (Thompson et al. 2013; Pescatello et al. 2014);Only applicable for people after stroke: - Suffered a first or recurrent stroke, as diagnosed by a neurologist - Receives rehabilitation treatment care in Heliomare - Time since stroke between 7 days and 6 months at time of inclusion (subacute stroke; Bernhardt et al. 2017) - Scheduled for a CPET as part of clinical practice - Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) 2 or higher, indicating that the patient is able to perform balancing and coordinating tasks with or without some assistance - For ambulatory activities; Berg Balance Score > 45 to limit fall risk during the activity (Berg et al. 1989) - Able to understand instructions

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
This study will assess the absolute and relative aerobic load of various daily activities for people that have experienced a stroke. For this purpose, oxygen consumption will be measured during these activities and during a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test. Furthermore, activity levels in daily life will be assessed through activity monitoring and the relationship between activity level, fatigue and relative aerobic load will be determined.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The aerobic load of daily tasks will additionally be expressed in heart rate and rating of perceived exertion. Furthermore the influence of cognitive and functional characteristics on aerobic load and on activity level will be assessed.	—
