Summary

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.

Conditions

• Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Seated control (CON)	Seated rest
BEHAVIORAL	Moderate intensity continuous (MICT)	Arm cycling at a continuous power output
BEHAVIORAL	High intensity interval training (HIIT)	Arm cycling at power outputs that vary between high and low intensity intervals
BEHAVIORAL	Circuit resistance training (CRT)	Alternating between six upper extremity resistance maneuvers interspersed with low-resistance/high-speed arm cycling.
OTHER	Liquid Meal	A liquid meal consisting of 600 kcal comprised of 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 15% protein (by kcal).
