Abstract
The greatest cause of death on chronic cases is cardiovascular disease. The aerobic capacity is a non direct measure of having cardiovascular diseases risk. Resistance training could highly improve that capacity. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effect of a high intensity interval training (HIIT) in a sample of 7 participants with spinal cord injury (SCI), Asia A (scale of neurological involvement) and chronical phase (more than 6 months after the injury). Knowing that training regularly will improve the aerobic capacity, we are going to check if intervalic training also works.
Before starting, we recorded their weight, waist circumference, resting heart rate (HRR) and Dash pain scale. While active we recorded in a Skierg Concept 2 (Vermont, 2009) model ergometer absolute maximum and relative power as well as absolute average power and relative average power in 1 minute and 6 minutes. The program went on for four weeks, training 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Once the 12 sessions were over, a post-test was done. Here we observed that all participants improved their absolute and relative power, as well as in the 1 and 6 minutes tests. The data was analysed with SPSS using a paired t-test with a significance of 95% (p <0.05).These results encourages us to continue investigating about this type of training with people with spinal cord injuries since they can positively influence their aerobic capacity, prevent cardiosvascular diseases as well as having a positive impact on their quality of life.
