Telehealth high-intensity interval exercise and cardiometabolic health in spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of exercise trials examining cardiometabolic outcomes in spinal cord injury (SCI) is low, and prescribed exercise is often inconvenient for individuals with SCI to perform within their community. Individuals with SCI experience a myriad of barriers to exercise participation, which can include a lack of time, accessible or usable equipment and facilities, and transportation. Thus, it is imperative to identify effective modes of exercise that provide the greatest overall health benefits but do not require a significant time commitment. Low-volume high intensity interval training (HIIT) has demonstrated the same improvements in cardiometabolic health as moderate intensity exercise training (MIT), despite only requiring 20% of the total time commitment in adults w
