While working on the wheelchair the following peak exercise values were obtained: V02 = 24.7 ml. kg/min, VE = 9 2.09 l/min HR = 181.5 b/ min and R = 1.22. Values corresponding to the anaerobic threshold were found to be, HR = 139 b/min and %HRR = 57.02. Low correlations were...
11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 27 Three studies used wheelchair propulsion.13, 16, 26 The dose of aerobic exercise was progressively increased from 15 to 40 min for duration and maintaining an intensity of between 40 and 70% of peak heart rate (HRpeak) in most of the studies. Table 2 ...

Exercise is beneficial to adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) because of its ability to improve function and increase life expectancy. The goal of this dissertation was to determine an effective intervention for increasing aerobic fitness and decreasing shoulder pain in manual wheelchair users with ...
