This review examines the potential role of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in promoting neuroplasticity and functional recovery in poststroke patients. Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with impaired motor function and mobility often persisting despite conventional rehabilitation interventions. Emerging evidence suggests that HIIT, characterized by alternating periods of high-intensity exercise and rest, may induce neuroplastic changes in the brain that support motor learning and recovery following stroke. By synthesizing current literature and clinical studies, this review aims to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of HIIT on neuroplasticity in post-stroke patients and its implications for optimizing rehabilitation outcomes.
