Methods and protocols for incremental exercise testing in tetraplegia, using arm-crank ergometry assisted by Functional Electrical Stimulation
Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to tetraplegia, with paralysis and loss of sensation in the upper and lower limbs. The associated sedentary lifestyle results in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. To address this, we require the design of exercise modalities aimed specifically at tetraplegia and methods to assess their efficacy. This paper describes methods for arm-crank ergome...
متن کاملPlasma cytokine and exertional responses in relation to exercise intensity and volume of exercising muscle mass during arm-crank ergometry.
This original study investigated the effect of submaximal exercise intensity and volume of contracting muscle mass on plasma inflammation-mediating cytokine and perceived exertional responses to acute arm-crank ergometry (ACE). Twelve recreationally active but upper limb untrained males performed 30 min of (i) low-intensity (40% peak oxygen uptake) ACE (LOW); (ii) moderate-intensity (60% peak o...
متن کاملImmediate Effects of Smoking on Cardiorespiratory Responses During Dynamic Exercise: Arm Vs. Leg Ergometry
PURPOSE This study compared the immediate effects of smoking on cardiorespiratory responses to dynamic arm and leg exercises. METHODS This randomized crossover study recruited 14 college students. Each participant underwent two sets of arm-cranking (AC) and leg-cycling (LC) exercise tests. The testing sequences of the control trial (participants refrained from smoking for 8 h before testing) ...
متن کاملPower output for wheelchair driving on a treadmill compared with arm crank ergometry.
OBJECTIVES The limiting factors with regard to power output available for wheelchair ambulation have not been identified. The aim of the present study was to correlate power output during wheelchair driving with (i) power output and oxygen uptake during arm crank ergometry and (ii) arm muscle strength. METHODS Eleven disabled men were examined for maximal power output (POmax) during wheelchai...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) allows the clinician to objectively evaluate symptoms and important functions. CPET also arms the investigator with a powerful tool to better understand the respiratory system role as an engaged participant of a fully integrated physiologic system in humans. The insights gained mean that CPET can aid in the assessment of activity limitation and dyspnea, i...
