Summary

The purpose of this research is to examine changes in blood glucose control and metabolism in individuals with SCI and non injured controls at rest and during exercise after five days of exposure to IH. This response will be compared with breathing normal room air (a SHAM control).

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Intermittent Hypoxia (IH)

Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute hypoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.09-0.12) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21). During hypoxic intervals, oxygen concentration may be adjusted to maintain participants SpO2 levels between 75-90%.

DEVICE

SHAM

Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21).
