Summary

Testing the efficacy of high intensity interval training (HIIT), as compared to current research supporting moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), as a means to improve cardiometabolic health after spinal cord injury.

High Intensity Interval Training

Participants assigned to this group will perform a very mild 5-minute warm-up (0 resistance, and 60 rpm), followed by 5 one-minute bouts of high intensity exercise, with 90 seconds between each bout. These bouts will be followed by a 3-minute cool down (0 resistance, and 60 rpm). The high-intensity exercise will be performed at an intensity of 17 on the Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale (very hard), and the 90 second active rest intervals will be performed at an intensity of 7-9 (very, very light - very light). The exercise will be performed on the NuStep machine 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
