However, no consensus about a specific training program has been reached for such a population. Objective: This study investigated the effects of a short interval training program specifically designed for patients with spinal cord injuries. Methods: Paraplegic men performed 30-min wheelchair ergometry three times per week, for 4 weeks. Maximal dynamic performance and endurance capacity were studied before and after the training program with an incremental test (10 W/2 min) until volitional fatigue and a constant work rate test, respectively. Cardiorespiratory responses were continuously studied during each of these tests. Results: Training induced significant improvement in maximal tolerated power ( + 27.9%), and in peak oxygen consumption ( Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001218158 |
