Stroke is a major cause of disability in the community. After stroke, physical fitness is substantially reduced, and low fitness contributes to functional limitations. There is an increasing body of evidence that physical fitness training improves physical function after stroke. Fitness training also has major potential to reduce other poststroke problems such as fatigue, low mood, and recurrent vascular events. Physical fitness training is increasingly being incorporated into the rehabilitation and long-term management of people after stroke.

We invite authors to submit papers on the topic of physical activity and physical fitness and stroke. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• The biology of fitness after stroke
• What do animal models of exercise after stroke tell us?
• Association between physical activity, fitness, and function
• The influence of increased physical activity and fitness training on outcome after stroke, including risk of recurrent stroke
• Fatigue after stroke: aetiology and associations with fitness
• Barriers and motivators to exercise after stroke
• Putting research evidence into practice: models of providing exercise after stroke
• How to measure fatigue in physical fitness programs?

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/srt/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
