Energetic Response to Feeding and Exercise in SCI

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injuries

In brief

This study investigates the effect of various forms of upper extremity exercise on postprandial glycemia and lipemia in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants are measured at rest and fed a standardized meal following seated rest (CON), moderate intensity continuous arm cycling (MICT), high intensity interval arm cycling (HIIT), and circuit resistance exercise (CRT) matched for exercise energy expenditure.
