What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Project Summary/Abstract Obesity and metabolic syndrome (obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension) are epidemic in the spinal cord injured (SCI) population. A recent study assessing the body composition and metabolic syndrome rates of 72 motor complete chronic SCI individuals revealed an obesity rate of over 90% and a metabolic syndrome rate of 60%. These results are significantly higher than in the general population. As such individuals with SCI typically have systemic inflammation and an accelerated trajectory towards cardiometabolic disease, and early mortality. Although the accelerated trajectory is multi-factorial, substantial evidence implicates sedentary behavior and low physical activity levels as significant contributing factors. Exercise strategies for individuals with SCI have included upper body arm crank exercise (ACE), functional electrical stimulation leg cyclin
