The purpose of this investigation was to compare cardiorespiratory fitness levels of acute spinal cord injury individuals (SCI), at the time of admission (ADM) to a rehabilitation hospital, prior to discharge (DC), and 8 weeks following discharge (8wk). Subjects were a 110 SCI with a mean age of 29, with injury levels C6 and below, who had completed a maximal exercise test on an arm ergometer. The researchers used a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures to compare peak values for oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate, blood pressure (BP), and ergometer resistance (PER) at ADM, DC, and 8wk. Significance was shown …
