No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the immediate effects of a single exercise session or a high fat/high carbohydrate meal on the physical and mental health of people with a spinal cord injury (SCI). Specifically, we want to better understand the responses in people with SCI when they conduct exercise or eat an unhealthy meal, when looking at inflammation levels, the number and function of immune cells, brain function, pain and how one feels (affect). If we can understand these responses, then clinicians, sports practitioners and dieticians can provide better advice to people with SCI.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Single exercise bout trial

Exercise trial day: 30 min of continuous exercise at 60% VOpeak (or at the least 3 bouts of 10 min at 60% VO2peak separated by no more than 1 minute rest) - power output is set at that determined during the maximum test on the first visit, and adjusted accordingly if there is a deviation \>5% VO2peak for at least 3 minutes of exercise.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Single diet trial

Diet trial day The protocol of the diet trial day is identical to that of the exercise trial day, except that exercise is substituted by asking the participant to eat a standardized breakfast meal that it is commonly consumed in a fast-food chain (i.e. cheese and egg McMuffin, double portion of hash browns and an orange pop).
