The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine if combining strategy training and physical activity (STPA) works to improve executive function in community-dwelling adults with post-stroke cognitive impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does STPA and physical exercise alone lead to greater improvements in executive function among stroke survivors relative to the control intervention with education? * Does STPA outperform physical exercise alone in the efficacy of executive functions? * Do the effects of STPA on executive functions transfer to the global cognition, balance, and activity-participation outcomes? * Do the effects of STPA persist for at least 6 months post-intervention? Researchers will compare the efficacy of the STPA intervention against physical exercise alone or control intervention with education. Participants will: receive STPA, physical activity only, or an education program 2 to 3 sessions per week until finishing 12 sessions. be assessed clinical outcomes at 5 times: pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up.
