Telehealth High Intensity Interval Exercise and Cardiometabolic Health in Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating high intensity interval exercise and No-exercise control group for Spinal Cord Injuries and Cardiometabolic Diseases. Completed, enrolled 8 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will determine if the implementation of a home-based telehealth high intensity interval exercise-training (HIIT)program can significantly improve cardiometabolic health and physical function in a cohort of individuals with longstanding spinal cord injury (SCI). Results from this study will determine feasibility, overall enjoyment, and health impact of implementing a home-based telehealth HIIT program in individuals with SCI.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
HIIT training will be delivered two times per week for 16 weeks (32 sessions). Each session will be separated by at least 24-hrs. Participants will be allowed to choose the days and times that they feel exercise will fit into their schedule. The HIIT protocol will be determined based on peak anaerobic power measures during an arm crank Wingate Cycle test. HIIT will consist of 20 minutes of exercise consisting of four minutes of arm crank exercise at 5% of peak anaerobic power followed by 30 seconds at 30% of the peak anaerobic power; this cycle will be repeated four times, ending with two minutes of recovery at 5% of peak anaerobic power.
