There are different strategies and therapies available to help people reach their rehabilitation and recovery goals.  The Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations modules Mood, Cognition and Fatigue following Stroke and Rehabilitation after Stroke emphasize the need for exercise for both brain and body and provide guidance for health professionals supporting people after a stroke. During this webinar, participants will learn about practical applications of physical and cognitive exercise and learn more about implementation of community programs. Our goal is to maximize optimal recovery in people with stroke, heart conditions or vascular cognitive impairment.  Bobby Stojanoski will discuss our current understanding of cognitive training by presenting new results about what cognitive exercise does to the brain, the evidence behind brain improvement apps, and how it pertains to dementia-related cognitive decline. Ada Tang and Julie Richardson will present their research on \"Fit for Function: Leveraging a community partnership to promote wellness after stroke\" and discuss practical implications to support community exercise programs and broader implementation strategies. Physical exercise is an essential component of rehabilitation and recovery for people with stroke, heart conditions or vascular cognitive impairment.  Intended Audience This webinar is intended for all health professionals caring for people with heart conditions, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment across all settings and stages of care (e.g. acute, rehabilitation, community); system leaders and funders involved in planning and service delivery; researchers; trainees from across health-related disciplines; as well as people experiencing these conditions, their families and caregivers.
