“…Physical activity and exercise can potentially reduce the risk of 44 developing CVD in people with SCI (3)(4)(5), and can help maintain or improve muscle 45 strength, flexibility and reduce pain (6). This results in improved health, well-being 46 and quality of life (7).…”

“…While most of the studies in the literature that have analyzed the relationship between PA and disease prevention have been conducted with able-bodied persons, there are a few epidemiological studies performed in persons with SCI that have shown similar results. [6][7][8][9] For this reason, it is very important to know whether persons with SCI who perform a minimum level of PA can avoid disorders associated with a sedentary lifestyle.…”

Study design: Cross-sectional validation study. Objectives: The goals of this study were to validate the use of accelerometers by means of multiple linear models (MLMs) to estimate the O 2 consumption (VO 2 ) in paraplegic persons and to determine the best placement for accelerometers on the human body. Setting: Non-hospitalized paraplegics' community. Methods: Twenty participants (age ¼ 40.03 years, weight ¼ 75.8 kg and height ¼ 1.76 m) completed sedentary, propulsion and housework activities for 10 min each. A portable gas analyzer was used to record VO 2 . Additionally, four accelerometers (placed on the non-dominant chest, non-dominant waist and both wrists) were used to collect second-by-second acceleration signals. Minute-byminute VO 2 (ml kg À1 min À1 ) collected from minutes 4 to 7 was used as the dependent variable. Thirty-six features extracted from the acceleration signals were used as independent variables. These variables were, for each axis including the resultant vector, the percentiles 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th; the autocorrelation with lag of 1 s and three variables extracted from wavelet analysis. The independent variables that were determined to be statistically significant using the forward stepwise method were subsequently analyzed using MLMs. Results: The model obtained for the non-dominant wrist was the most accurate (VO 2 ¼ 4.0558 À0.0318Y 25 þ 0.0107Y 90 þ 0.0051 Y ND2 À0.0061Z ND2 þ 0.0357VR 50 ) with an r-value of 0.86 and a root mean square error of 2.23 ml kg À1 min À1 . Conclusions: The use of MLMs is appropriate to estimate VO 2 by accelerometer data in paraplegic persons. The model obtained to the non-dominant wrist accelerometer (best placement) data improves the previous models for this population.

“…One study found that mobility activities correlated with a more favourable lipid profile. 11 Another study found that only a high level of physical activity was associated with a more favourable lipid profile. 8 In a third study, activity level was only found to be correlated with HDL.…”

“…This relation has also been studied in persons with a SCI. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] However, these studies all used questionnaires to determine physical activity level. Although studies have shown that when using questionnaires there is a risk of overestimation and that self-reported activity level is only weakly related to objectively measured activity level.…”

A more active lifestyle in persons with a recent spinal cord injury benefits physical fitness and health

Study design: A prospective cohort study. Objectives: To study the longitudinal relationship between objectively measured everyday physical activity level, and physical fitness and lipid profile in persons with a recent spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: A rehabilitation centre in the Netherlands and the participant's home environment. Methods: Data of 30 persons with a recent SCI were collected at the start of active rehabilitation, 3 months later, at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, and 1 year after discharge. Physical activity level (duration of dynamic activities as % of 24 h) was measured with an accelerometry-based activity monitor. Regarding physical fitness, peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) and peak power output (POpeak) were determined with a maximal wheelchair exercise test, and upper extremity muscle strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer. Fasting blood samples were taken to determine the lipid profile. Results: An increase in physical activity level was significantly related to an increase in VO 2 peak and POpeak, and an increase in physical activity level favourably affected the lipid profile. A nonsignificant relation was found with muscle strength. Conclusion: Everyday physical activity seems to have an important role in the fitness and health of persons with a recent SCI. An increase in physical activity level was associated with an increase in physical fitness and with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
