| Scientific title | A pilot study to compare the energy expenditure of arm-cranking with circuit training at 40% & 70% power output within the first 8 weeks of rehabilitation following spinal cord injury (SCI) |
| Study objectives | Which method of arm exercise (arm cranking or circuit training) results in the greatest energy expenditure for people following a spinal cord injury (SCI)? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Musculoskeletal Diseases: Spinal cord injury (SCI) |
| Intervention | Participants will be randomised to receive arm cranking or circuit training first; the second exercise scheme will be used at the second date. Measurement of peak heart rate, peak O2 consumption, energy expenditure and rate of perceived exertion for each exercise regime. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Peak heart rate, peak O2 consumption, energy expenditure and rate of perceived exertion for each exercise regime. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
