Patients with ischaemic stroke being 40 years of age or older will be included in the study. It is unknown, if level of physical activity can be increased by repeated information given to patients with a stroke. Level of physical activity is evaluated according to the PASE scale, which is expected to be approximately 70 as a mean value. Based on a standard deviation of 50, a minimal relevant difference of 20 in PASE score, a Type I error of 5%, a Type 2 error of 20%, it is estimated that 100 patients should be included in each of the two study arms. To take into account withdrawals and dropouts, about 50% more patients should be included in each arm, giving a total of 300 patients in the pilot trial.
