| Aidar et al. (2012) | 24 subjects, mean age of 51,7 ± 8 with chronic stroke (≥6 months) (15 men and 9 woman), were randomized to either the Experimental Group (EG) or Control Group (CG) | Control of main variables of resistance training (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). | State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | ↓ state anxiety of the EG when compared to CG |

| Aidar et al. (2016) | 24 subjects, mean age of 51,7 ± 8 with chronic stroke (≥6 months) (15 men and 9 woman), were randomized to either the Experimental Group (EG) or Control Group (CG) | Control of main variables of resistance training (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). | Quality of life | ↑ quality of life of the EG when compared to CG |

| Fernandez-Gonzalo et al. (2016) | 32 subjects with chronic stroke (≥6 months) were randomized to either the training group (TG), age (years)
61.2 ± 9.8, or Control Group (CG) age (years) 65.7 ± 12.7 | Control of main variables of resistance training (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). | Skeletal muscle size, strength and power, functional performance, and cognitive function | ↑ quadriceps volume of the more-affected leg, ↑ muscle power, ↑ balance, ↑ gait performance tasks, ↑ attention and speed of information processing in TG; CG showed no changes |

| Flansbjer et al. (2008) | 24 subjects, mean age 61 ± 5 (14 men and 10 woman) with chronic stroke (≥6 months), were randomized to either the training group (TG) or Control Group (CG) | Control of main variables of resistance training (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). | Muscle strength, muscle tone, timed “Up and Go,” fast gait speed and 6-minute walk tests, and perceived participation by stroke Impact scale; all measurements were made before and after the intervention and at follow-up 5 months after the intervention | ↑ muscle strength, timed “Up and Go,” and perceived participation of the TG group when compared to CG |
|
| Flansbjer et al. (2012) | 18 subjects, mean age 66 ± 4 with stroke, were randomized to either the training group (TG) or Control Group (CG) | Control of main variables of resistance training (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). | Muscle strength, muscle tone, timed “Up and Go,” fast gait speed and 6 minutes’ walk tests, and perceived participation by stroke Impact scale; the assessments were repeated at the 4-year follow-up | ↑ muscle strength of the TG group when compared to CG |
