Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the effect, in subjects with tetraplejia, of a stationary armcrank pedaling (AP) training program on their cardiorespiratory system. Method: 11 participants with tetraplegia, originated by traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) at levels between C4 and C6, were included in the study. Spirometric (VC, FVC and MVV) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) indexes (HR, STDHR, RMSSD, LF, HF, HRVPOWER) were measured before and after an 8 weeks of armcrank pedaling training program. Results: Spirometric and HRV variables showed changes (p < 0.05) after the training program, all the variables increased their value after the program, except HR which was decreased. People with lower SCI showed higher respiratory parameters. Conclusions: A short term AP training program is sufficient to meaningfully improve both respiratory and HRV parameters in people with high tetraplegia, and probably increasing their quality of life.
