Stroke is the topmost cause of mortality and disability in Ghana. Conventional exercise is mostly used aside pharmacological management technique but the complimentary effects of combined exercise training (CET) have not been reported. This study investigated the effectiveness of combined and conventional exercise trainings on lipid-cardiovascular profiles and body composition among stroke patients in Kumasi. Thirteen stroke survivors between ages 35–68 years (mean± standard deviation: age, 59.88± 10.88 years; duration of illness, 18.11± 7.72 years) participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to CET and conventional exercise group. The CET had 10 weeks of 3 types of exercise trainings, 3 days/wk; conventional exercise group monitored for daily conventional activities during the same period. Post weight (P= 0.003), body mass index (P= 0.004), systolic blood pressure (P= 0.022), diastolic blood pressure (P= 0.004), heart rate (P= 0.003), and total cholesterol (P= 0.044) of the CET were significantly improved. CET significantly improved total cholesterol (P= 0.005) and low-density lipoprotein (P= 0.006) better than the conventional exercises. Effectiveness of CET to positively enhance biochemical responses in the management of strove patients was established.
